GOPer announces Sat. on show he won't vie for '12 nomination.

Says all signs looked good, including family support, but he decided alone, with God's help, that running wasn't the right thing to do.

Plus: Donald Trump made an unpromoted cameo in an address to the nation in honor of Huckabee's decision, extolling the Arkansan in typical Trump style.  Talk about mysterious semiotics!!!

Halperin's Take

Mike Huckabee's decision not to run leaves a lot up for grabs: Iowa, evangelical voters, South Carolina, the populism space, the anti-Big Business space. Read more »

Huntsman: "Our country has been very fortunate to have Mike Huckabee as a leader and public servant. His commitment to this country and its core values -- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -- is a model to which all elected officials should aspire. It is unfortunate that we will not have his voice -- or his bass guitar -- in the presidential debate, as our party would have benefited from his involvement. Yet I'm confident that he will continue to be a positive force in the national conversation no matter his future endeavors and I look forward to his continued friendship."
