In an exclusive backstage television interview with The Brody File, former governor Mike Huckabee says, “there’s a new openness now” for a run at the presidency in 2016. Huckabee says he’s been encouraged to run by top evangelical and financial figures that did not back him in 2008. This time, however they say they will. The Brody File conducted the exclusive interview behind closed doors at the Convention Center in Little Rock Arkansas Thursday evening during a private event hosted by The American Renewal Project (more on the group below). He also met privately with pastors from the early voting states of Iowa and South Carolina. Huckabee told us after the meeting that, “a great many of them in this room certainly want me to take another shot at it and they said that. They expressed that.”

I want another new rule. If you run for presidential office and fail you can NEVER run again.
These losers keep thinking that it is "their turn". I'm tired of it.
We need to make room for the new guys. When the old guys run again it only takes time, money and resources away from the new ones.
If we followed this rule Hillary Clinton wouldn't be able to even DREAM about running in 2016.

That, coupled with your proposed Rule, should give pause to all "retread" presidential aspirants.
The fate of Richard Nixon serves as a solemn warning of the cosmic retribution which awaits those who violate the Palinista Rule!
Nixon is dead. I said it was a new rule.
