| Description | steady stream of possible candidates for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination have come through South Carolina since the beginning of the year.
They have included U.S. Sen. George Allen of Virginia, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee and now Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee was in town Oct. 1 to address a GOP fund-raiser on the grounds of the Governor’s Mansion.
Five days later, Huckabee returned in his capacity as chairman of the National Governor’s Association to tour a Charleston health fair with Gov. Mark Sanford — yet another potential presidential candidate.
Huckabee, a presidential long shot, dutifully answered reporters’ questions.
Yes, he is considering a run for the White House. No, he is not down here testing the political waters. And, yes, he is “flattered” and “honored” to be mentioned among the dozen or so who are said to be weighing a presidential bid.
