Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, today launched an exploratory committee to advise him on the feasibility of a 2008 presidential run. This adds him to a field of candidates including Tom Vilsack, Sam Brownback, Hillary Clinton, and (presumably) Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and John McCain. I'd like to see the exploratory committee convene, look at the race, and then say, "You know, Mr. (insert name here), no one really likes you and you'd be lucky to even score a debate with the other candidates. We really don't feel you should run for office." I don't care, I'm voting for Al Gore.

Liked what you read? I am available for hire.
