I wrote a second column for the Arkansas News Bureau this week to give my fellow columnist, Jason Tolbert, a break. In the column, I assert that the fact that Mike Huckabee is building a $2.2 million Florida beach house is a pretty good indication he isn’t running for president.

I think the former governor is simply making too much money and enjoying life too much to throw his hat into a presidential race that he probably won’t win. He’s going to keep doing what he is doing and enjoy his new beach house while the other candidates trudge through the snow in Iowa.

Anyway, it’s an educated guess, and we’ll know in a couple of months if I am right. Here is the column.
