Former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee said on Fox News Sunday today that he’s still not sure whether he’ll run for president in 2012 — and that much depends on whether the Republican base will unite behind him.

“I would have to see that the Republicans would be willing to unite behind me,” Huckabee said. “The last time out my biggest challenge was with the establishment Republicans, who just never showed their support.”

I am nowhere near ready to say that that’s what I want to do three years from now.

“It’s hard to say,” Huckabee continued. “A lot of it depends on how the elections turn out next year and whether Roger Ailes continues to like my show on the weekends.”

Before fielding the 2012 question, Huckabee did give a preview of what a campaign might look like, ripping into the Obama administrations $787 billion stimulus package and erroneous claims of jobs it created.

“The only jobs we’re creating are government jobs,” Huckabee said. “This nonsense about we’re creating and saving jobs — they’re nonexistent.”

This has been the biggest scam and waste of taxpayer money.

Here’s the video.
