He didn't have the name recognition or financing and there was no way for him to break through and get it. That won't be the case next time -- he'll enter the race well known and with some financial backing to begin with. His first appearance on the national political scene was in this race. Huckabee has some good qualities......I see him as a Bill Richardson.......in someone else's cabinet. But before you can even think who you're going to run next, you need to be seeing how this election goes. If its a land slide.....not necessarily in popular votes but in EC votes and the number of congressmen elected......you all will need to sit down and rethink your platform. I personally think you guys are out of touch. The election will be the tell. Let's face it -- Obama is winning solely because he's black and because the media was in the tank for him from the outset. He would never have beaten Hillary had he been a white man or had the media preferred Hillary. Uh.....Obama leads among blacks and Latinos; McCain among whites....at best Obama's race is a wash and actually McCain has the upper hand because whites are still a majority in this country. Huckabee went through rounds of Republican debates scarcely getting a word in edgewise because the focus was on the big names like Rudy and McCain and Romney; the noise level was simply too high. This is clearly the point Huckabee's TV show -- to give him national exposure to large numbers of people, and four years from now he could very well challenge Obama. Because Obama likely will have failed miserably (although I hope not), I suspect it will be a cakewalk for Mike Huckabee. I am not as impressed with Huckabee as you are. Sorry.
