Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he is comfortable with his decision to not enter the 2012 presidential race, believes he

“would have made a fine president,” and does not rule out a future run,
Politico says.
“It really came down for me to a very personal, a very intimate, and as I explained last night, a spiritual decision," Huckabee said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“You look at the political possibilities — frankly I don’t know that I’ll have a better chance, but I don’t rule anything out for the long-term future,” he said. “But I just somehow believed deep within me that it wasn’t the right time, it wasn't meant to be.”
Huckabee also said he is not ready to endorse anyone for president.
