That was Mike Huckabee’s response to Tim Russert’s question this morning about whether he wanted to be vice president.

He would not say flatly that he’d decline the job, if offered.

Russert worked him over pretty well on policy shifts — on a national smoking ban; on the Cuban embargo; on signing a no-new-tax pledge — and for his support for televangelist Kenneth Copeland, who’s been resisting a congressional investigation of expenditures by his ministry.
