Apparently, my pres-dar was malfunctioning, as I missed former Ark. governor Mike Huckabee’s announcement that he was running for president after all. In the same way I admire John Edwards for campaigning with poverty as a core plank in his policy platform, I admire Gov. Huckabee’s attention to personal health and fitness, especially with regard to the benefits of a reduced-calorie diet. Huckabee, more than Romney, is the sort of governor the Republicans need on their bench. Will this keep Haley Barbour at bay (or coast, as the case may be)?

Review the latest edition of the presidential scorecard.
