First on The Page: Mike Huckabee email to his inner circle seem to lean more in the "yes" direction

Huckabee e-mail to his inner circle:

Tomorrow night (Saturday) I will announce the next step in my plans for 2012 during my show on the Fox News Channel. I would like to be able to call you or email you personally and in advance of the announcement, but due to the fact that the decision was not finalized until today and that I committed to Fox that I will absolutely not release it prior to doing so on the channel, that became impractical.

A lot of information and speculation was already rampant in the press today, and it frankly isn't fair to you to tell you the details and then put you in the awkward position of saying you didn't know (which at that point wouldn't be true) or saying you did know, but couldn't reveal or discuss it.

It was this afternoon before I could even get word to all of my own children and even now, the executive producer of my show and the staff and crew of the show don't know and won't until I actually do the final preparation literally minutes before I share the decision live Saturday night.

I will look forward to speaking with you soon and once I fulfill my sworn obligation to Fox, I will be free to discuss things that I can't now due to promises to them and to some possible legal considerations of the announcement.

Many friends have said, "how can we help you in the decision?" My answer has consistently been, "Pray that I have clarity." I have it and will share it Saturday night during the show. Please be patient if I don't respond immediately to an email because I expect that once I pull the trigger Saturday night, things will get even crazier, as if that's possible.

My heartfelt thanks for your friendship, prayers, and support,
Mike Huckabee

1. He ain't running. That's why Faux let him keep his show. Same with Palin. n/t

4. Bet he'll spend most of the leadup to his 'decision' hawking those weird history videos

Mike Huckabee Fixes American History (VIDEO)

Don't worry, American youth: Mike Huckabee has fixed American history. No longer will you suffer under what Huckabee calls "the 'blame America first' attitude prevalent in today's teaching."

Late Wednesday, Huckabee announced LearnOurHistory.com, a sort of BMG Music Club for what he calls "unbiased" historical lessons for kids. For around $15 each, the company will send you a new animated tale of American history each month, told through the eyes of a gang of time traveling kids.

The first video (available for just $9.95, with a gift bag full of goodies)? "The Reagan Revolution." Naturally.

2. Fox (R) is the official Republicon Propaganda Catapult

The RepubliClowns think they can reach everyone thru this narrow propaganda echo chamber.

But you'd have to be pretty damn stoopid to think Fox (R) is ever telling the truth about anything...

3. Fuckabee is the Most Darngerous Repig of them All

He is even crazier than the others, but he is smooth enough to make the crazy sound reasonable to impressionable people.
He would most likely win the Repig nomination. With the full support of the Mighty Slime Machine and with 27 states
under complete Teabagger rule, he might even "win" the Presidency.

Fuckabee would turn the USA into Jesusland.

12. and the capital this new country would be...

Israeli held Jerusalem. Huck is a mega-Zionist.

[AndyTiedye]

13. Yeah, He'd Call Up Another Edition of the Crusades Too

I am soooo relieved that he has apparently decided NOT to run next year.

5. "I committed to Fox . . ." Says it all.

[Clio the Leo]

6. He's committed to Fox not to discuss the nature of the announcement...

..... I've thought ever since I heard he'd be making an announcement that he was NOT going to run ... after reading his letter, I've done a 180.

[asjr]

8. He may very well announce he is

running for Supreme Preacher of the U.S.

[Clio the Leo]

10. Ha! nt

[Scottybeamer70]

7. "once I pull the trigger".......

heh........such a nice choice of words.
Guess jesus told him to "pull the trigger"........:rofl:

[Arkana]

9. He'd have spent the last few months creating a staff and haunting

IA, NH, and SC if he was running.

I'd bet almost anything he's not going to.

11. Speculation: What if Huck is simply going to be taking over Beck's time slot?
