Mike Huckabee won't run for President in 2012 when push comes to shove.
Sure, he is enjoying the big buckage now, but GOP evangelicals don't have anyone else as credible to make the race (after Mike the list swiftly descends to Bachmann and Palin and Santorum) ...So I'm thinking the pressure alone to keep political protestantism relevant in the USA will push Huckabee into the race.
Moreover, Huckabee can win, the nomination at least, he makes Romney look even more robotic and inhuman if that is humanly possible. The conventional wisdom pegs Huckabee as underfunded and a dicey bet in the New Hampshire Primary but then again Romney doesn't wear well over time and given a choice between a range of lunatics, obscurities and Mike Huckabee who can say the Granite State won't vote for the Preacher the way they went for Jimmy Carter in 1976?
Besides I'll be disappointed if Mike doesn't run, he is one of the few 2012 GOP candidates who started out as a human being at the very least...and the man's gaffes are priceless.
