Mike Huckabee made a name for himself several years ago as the governor of Arkansas. Then he ran as a Republican candidate for president of the United States, but was unsuccessful.
Now he may have his best job — yet.
He is on cable television, with a rather low-key weekly political and musical variety show. He pleasantly chats with guests, makes some political observations and engages a small studio audience — and a large national broadcast audience. So he’s still very much in the public eye.
Gov. Huckabee came to Chattanooga this week to give some political encouragement to 3rd District Republican congressional candidate Chuck Fleischmann. But another 3rd District Republican congressional aspirant, Robin Smith, claimed that a majority of the “real” Huckabee supporters favor her.
Politics has a long road. Mrs. Smith and Mr. Fleischmann are just two of several current Republican and Democrat congressional hopefuls. But is Gov. Huckabee looking ahead — possibly to another run for president in 2012?
Stay tuned.
Politics is an interesting business, to say the least.
