"I don't think Huckabee's running . . . And I don't think the lady from Alaska's running," he said in an interview with
The Hill Wednesday.
While both "appear to be thinking about it," neither one is putting together the staff needed to launch a campaign, Norquist said.
The two former governors may retain more clout in the Republican Party by staying out of the race, he added.
Regardless of who does run, Norquist said he’s unlikely to offer an endorsement during the primary season, especially if all the candidates signed his group's Taxpayer Protection Pledge.
