Delicate Arch, Arches Nat'l Park, Utah

It will take a while for the dust to settle from Mike Huckabee's announcement that he will not run for president next year. Earlier today Mike Campbell, the chairman of Huckabee's 2008 campaign in the pivotal state of South Carolina, will back former Utah governor and ex-ambassodor to China Jon Huntsman in his likely quest for the White House. The State says Campbell "was impressed with Huntsman after meeting him earlier this year."
