Strawn on Huckabee, Huckabee Denies Decision Not to Run

Stuck on Huck: 2008 Iowa Caucus winner Mike Huckabee's fans started their "Stuck on Huck" movement. But Huck has been a no show in Iowa. He apparently has been a no-talk, too. Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn is a guest this weekend on C-Span's "Newsmakers" series. Stawn said he hasn't talked to Huckabee at all this year. And some of Huck's top Iowa strategists from 08 have moved to other candidates this year. Strawn believes Huckabee can't wait too much longer to get into the race, if he's even planning on getting in the race. Strawn also admits this presidential campaign has started more slowly than the past. But he doesn't believe because there is no front-runner, if means Republicans are less than enthused with their choices so far.

Here's the full interview.

Update: Huckabee is denying reports that he's already bailed on another presidential run. However, the article points out strong skepticism from Fox News that Huckabee will run.
