Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee could be a contender in 2012, but he has discovered that rolling out of bed once a week to tell yuck-yucks and play bass on his Fox News show is a lot more fun than glad-handing and fundraising 18 hours a day.

In his own words, “this Fox gig I got right now” is “really really wonderful.” But Huckabee also says he might consider running if the conditions are right (i.e. fundraising) and if the GOP establishment is willing to get behind him. — PZS
