Huckabee announces

"Being president is a job that takes one to the limit of his or her human capacity."

"My answer is clear and firm," Huckabee said. "I will not seek the Republican nomination for president this year. I'm going to continue gladly doing what I do."

Huckabee hosts a show on Fox News, has a syndicated radio program and makes speeches. He has a $2 Million home under construction in Florida. Not long ago he was a Baptist preacher in Hope, Arkansas.

Ed Rollins, Republican strategist, supported Mike Huckabee. Rollins chaired Huckabee's 2008 campaign and had been talking with fundraisers about a 2012 Huckabee bid and said it would be difficult to find another opportunity like this.
