Huckabee rules out White House run in 2012

WASHINGTON | Sat May 14, 2011 9:00pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Mike Huckabee announced on Saturday he would not seek his party's U.S. presidential nomination in 2012, adding uncertainty to the race to pick a challenger to President Barack Obama.

"I will not seek the Republican nomination for president this year," he said on his Fox News Channel television show.

Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, had been riding high in some 2012 polls among Republicans. But he had not been raising funds or touring the country as he wrestled over whether to launch a second run for his party's nomination or stick with his Fox show, "Huckabee."

Obama, a Democrat, was far ahead of all possible Republican candidates mentioned in a Reuters/Ipsos poll this week. A number of high-profile Republicans have either declined to run or are still weighing their options.

GOOD he knew he didnt have a chance.Ive been saying all along Trump wont run wont be surprised he drops out this week.Palin will be next.

Huckabee signed the NUMBERS USA Pledge back in 2008 and posted it on his campaign site. Ron Paul signed it to.
It was posted here back then.

NUMBERS USA Pledge

I pledge to oppose amnesty or any other special path to citizenship for the millions of foreign nationals unlawfully present in the United States. As President, I will fully implement enforcement measures that, over time, will lead to the attrition of our illegal immigrant population. I also pledge to make security of our borders a top priority of my administration.

Numbers USA includes six points of understanding as to what the pledge means and what it entails:

1. The 12 to 20 million illegal aliens now here will have to go home.

2. They will not get any legal status while here that allows them to remain long-term.

3. Once in their home countries, they may apply for re-admittance to the U.S. as immigrants, visitors or temporary workers through normal channels.

4. But they will not receive any special privileges on the basis of their having been in the U.S. illegally, such as being put to the front of a line.

5. There will be no new categories or programs through which they may re-enter.

6. There will not be an expansion of green cards in any existing categories that will speed up their movement to the front of the line.
