Reconsider

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a failed presidential candidate in 2008, has said he sees an opportunity for him in the 2016 campaign for the Republican nomination for president.

Mr. Huckabee seems to have overlooked the lesson taught by Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain in 2012 -- the best, cheapest and least embarrassing way to not be president is to never run in the first place. "I lost to one guy who lost to Barack Obama and more or less tied with the other one" is not a résumé-builder.

I probably share some ideas with Gov. Huckabee, but not enough to want to waste time on him.
