DeLay likes Huckabee in 2012 if McCain loses
By James B. Gerber, PolitickerCA.com ReporterCABAZON - Tom DeLay was a supporter of Mike Huckabee in the Republican primaries, and likes his chances for the party's nomination in 2012 if John McCain loses in November, despite disagreeing with the former Arkansas governor on a number of issues.
"I've known Huckabee for 30 years," DeLay, the former House majority leader from Texas, told PolitickerCA.com. "I know what kind of man he is, how strong he is. I didn't agree with him on global warming, but I can overlook that knowing what a great man he is."
"I think that because of the kind of person he is, people like him," DeLay said. "If he weren't so populist, I think the conservatives would rally around him."
Huckabee encountered significant opposition during his campaign from various conservative groups, including the Club for Growth, which invested heavily in negative advertising against his candidacy.
DeLay said that he doesn't think Huckabee will be satisfied with his new job at Fox News, and hinted that the former governor was interested in running for president again if McCain loses. "He's looking ahead," DeLay said. "He's going to be out there helping build the party. He's going to be around."

Huckabee is WHAT WE NEED!!! AGREED!!!
I agree 100% with Tom DeLay that Huckabee is the man for 2012! The American people have seen what kind of man Huck is and America loves the guy!! He has a vision for the direction of the Republican Party (and this country) that is the right one. You just KNOW that he loves this country and truly believes his platform that EVERY human life has the same intrinsic worth and value. This basic principle is the core of what makes the difference between a moderate president and a great one! Huckabee would be a great leader for this country! Go Huck!!!
