Mike Huckabee Won't Run in 2012
As many predicted, Mike Huckabee announced he won't seek the Republican nomination for President in 2012.
Was it his clemency record? As I wrote here, listing his many clemency decisions:
Huckabee granted a lot of deserved pardons while in office, particularly for drug offenders serving excessive sentences. A Governor's use of clemency and pardon power is a good thing. The problem with Huckabee's exercise of the power is that several of his decisions make no sense, he refused to explain his decisions, and he injected his religion into it.
