From AP:
Gov. Mike Huckabee, considering a presidential bid in 2008, said Thursday he is putting himself in position to take the plunge into the race and other Republicans' plans won't affect his timetable.
While U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona already kicked off a campaign with the creation of an exploratory committee, Huckabee told reporters he won't announce any plans until he leaves the Governor's Mansion on Jan. 9.
"What I'm doing now is taking steps that get me into the position to make the plunge," Huckabee said. "There's no real advantages to me to declare a candidacy this early. There are a lot of disadvantages," including fundraising restrictions.
