Huckabee: I will make an important announcment this weekend

[The Dark Knight]

Huckabee might be jumping in or jumping out of the presidential race. Lets all Pray that he jumps out. Iowa gets 100 times harder if he is in.

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/13/huckabee-teases-decision-on-presidential-run/

[Elwar]

The announcement will be "I believe in a united America, not a divided America. And to this end, I endorse Ron Paul for president in 2012."

[reduen]

The announcement will be "I believe in a united America, not a divided America. And to this end, I endorse Ron Paul for president in 2012."

Funny... He will be announcing that he is in for 2012...

[The Dark Knight]

"But we must not leave Iraq until we have Honor"

[TIMB0B]

Is he announcing on his show? Didn't Trump say something about not being able to announce while on a TV show?

[rp08orbust]

Huge bummer.

[eduardo89]

"But we must not leave Iraq until we have Honor"

Is this what honor looks like?

[eduardo89]

I really hope he announces he's not running...this will kill us...

[Kludge]

Huckabee's 50x the Johnson Johnson'd be to us.

I would be excited for an endorsement of Trump.

[trey4sports]

I really hope he announces he's not running...this will kill us...

I wouldn't go THAT far, but it certainly wont make it any easier.

[The Dark Knight]

Intrade says he has about a 52% chance of running. Cross your fingers, pray whatever it is you do. This is going to have a huge impact on the primary.

[rp08orbust]

I seriously doubt that he'd be tweeting to supporters to tune in to his show for an important announcement if it were that he isn't running.

[eduardo89]

I seriously doubt that he'd be tweeting to supporters to tune in to his show for an important announcement if it were that he isn't running.

I thought he said he'd wait till summer

[Flash]

I thought he said he'd wait till summer

FOX Is pressuring him to decide now whether he's in or out. They don't want him as an employee if he's going to run.

[The Dark Knight]

This seems very strange because the article says that even his advisors honestly do not know what he is going to announce. Maybe he will announce that Jesus is coming back soon.

[Cleaner44]

His anouncement is that he found Jesus... unfortunately he was on a pancake and Huck ate him.

[Flash]

I bet he'll announce he's endorsing Sanotorum (sp?) or one of the other Socio Cons.

[pauladin]

i don't think he's going to run. he just built his multi-million dollar dream house and probably needs the income from the show.

[The Dark Knight]

Shit

[eduardo89]

Ah fuck

[HOLLYWOOD]

Of Course he's running... Huckabee is only running to keep Ron Out of winning the nomination.

It's balatantly obvious that the Huckster would throw away his $1+ million plus salary and infamous show aside to run now? This is the money master establishment puppet to ensure Ron's message and campaign is diluted and he does not get the nomination.

Presidental campaigns are the sleaziest and the money masters ensure no one threatens their cosy little rigged insider club of the fasco-corporatist partnership.

[JK/SEA]

Bring it on....Ron will destroy him in fundraising, and the debates, not to mention Ron IS the Tea Party, plus Everyone is now using most of Ron's talking points. I'd say Ron has a BIG upper hand. Relax.

[eduardo89]

[silentshout]

Hackable is scary.

-- darn autocorrect, I meant Huckabee :)

[payme_rick]

Let's all pray for him...

[fade]

Huckabee has the bible belt no question. I hope he doesn't run or it will make my job much harder informing Christians.

[TIMB0B]

He'll split the vote of the neocons giving RP an advatnage.

[sailingaway]

He was planning on waiting until June, but is now polling even w/ Ron in AZ and Fox is purportedly asking them to say if they are running. So maybe he feels pushed. I don't know which way he'll go, but I wish he had waited until next weekend so Ron could keep his weekend in the news cycle, that has to be why the campaign chose Friday...

[sailingaway]

I'm guessing he's announcing.

Only on Fox..... hmmmmm

[nate895]

The announcement will be "I believe in a united America, not a divided America. And to this end, I endorse Ron Paul for president in 2012."

If he does that, I'll faint and then run through the streets in joy and celebration, and then feel vindicated for supporting him for a while in the '08 campaign.

[RileyE104]

He's announcing that on May 21st, the apocalypse will begin. :p

[specsaregood]

I don't think he'll run because he can't beat Obama.

[speciallyblend]

I don't think he'll run because he can't beat Obama.

that is not going to stop the gop nominating someone who will get beat by obama. mccain bring back memories?? The gop will do Everything in its power to stop Ron Paul from getting the nominaton and then the gop will elect obama!!

[ds21089]

I don't think he'll run because he can't beat Obama.

That's not why everyone wants him to run. They couldn't care less about that. They want him to run to make sure Ron Paul doesn't win. I guarantee you the powers that be rather have Obama win than Ron Paul so they are doing whatever it takes. People saying that Huck might not do it because of money..are you serious? You don't think the elite have millions they can easily give Huck if they know it will be the demise of Ron Paul? Get real..

What stopped Huckabee's momentum back in 2008? If I remember correctly, he won Iowa then seemed to just fade away.

I don't have a link, but a friend of mine who is really into a "prophet" by the name of Kim Clement told me that Kim is predicting a 3rd party candidate will win the 2012 election. Take it for what's it worth because the guy doesn't have a 100% track record, which is why I put prophet in quotes.

It would only look that way to us dedicated Ron Paul supporters. I doubt anyone else would really see it as such. (aww well he tried to defeat the Obomination) I'm sure the GOP would rather deal with another 4 years of Obama THEN return it back to Republicans in '16 than to have Ron Paul win now. However, the jokes on them because we only gain momentum!


Not to mention he'll have to spend through the nose....

HE will? Or corporations that want to ensure Ron Paul doesn't win will?

[angelatc]

What stopped Huckabee's momentum back in 2008? If I remember correctly, he won Iowa then seemed to just fade away.

I seem to recall that he stayed in long enough to take votes away from Romney and give McCain the win.

[PaulConventionWV]

A lot of people seem to be ignoring the fact that the OP's article was chock full of indications he will NOT run. It said stuff like his family doesn't want him to, which it seems would be very important to him. They also said, "the fact that the campaign staff has no idea is a pretty good indication he is not going to run." One of his guys said he didn't have the "fire in the belly" and "I can't want it more than the candidate." Everyone seems to have skipped these little tidbits which seem to indicate he is not running.

I hope it's true. Either way, we already have a pretty good standing against him, so I wouldn't worry too much.

[Razmear]

From the article it looks like he'll be taking a pass. Also on the sidebar is a nice write up about Ron.

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/13/does-the-tea-party-make-ron-paul-mainstream/

[pauladin]

mike huckabee's likelihood of running just went down by 42.9% on intrade.

[The Dark Knight]

Really good news! Intrade only has him at around a 30% chance of announcing! Lets hope this holds!!!!!

[low preference guy]

Is this because Fox told him to clarify what he is going to do or be fired?

[speciallyblend]

Huckabee, I am running for president to stop the liberty revolution so we can elect obama for a 2nd term!! I hope he does not run, i am just waiting for the next gop BS!!!! They are gonna run someone they have not yet.This is what i guess!

Wow, thanks for pointing this out as I did not click on the article and assumed I knew what was going on from the posts here. If it's true that he's decided not to run, this will be a major victory for us. Donald Trump is looking like he's not running, maybe even possibly endorsing Ron. Romney is suffering from his Romneycare issues. Palin's poll numbers have dropped and she is most likely not running either. If huckabee doesn't run, Ron looks to be the frontrunner candidate after Romney fails!

[Flash]

I'm still leaning towards the idea he's going to make an endorsement, but will not run. Unfortunately, he'll endorse a Socio Con hack instead of Paul.

[ssantoro]

Bring it on....Ron will destroy him in fundraising, and the debates, not to mention Ron IS the Tea Party, plus Everyone is now using most of Ron's talking points. I'd say Ron has a BIG upper hand. Relax.

Ditto, chill baby chill. Never let um see you sweat.

You're dreaming. Huckabee hurts us more than anyone.

[smartguy911]

In addition, Mr. Rollins said that he did not think Fox News would allow Mr. Huckabee to use the platform of a news show on their network to make an announcement that he is running for president.

I am guessing he is not running

[Eric21ND]

What stopped Huckabee's momentum back in 2008? If I remember correctly, he won Iowa then seemed to just fade away.
Not really. He won several more states. He does extremely well in the south.

[Eric21ND]

Let's all pray to Aqua Buddha he doesn't run. Didn't Huckster endorse Rand Paul for Senate? He'll probably endorse Pawlenty or Santorum.

[Original_Intent]

I hope he isn't running, I can't help but feel he was just waiting for something official from Ron to jump in tho.

I'm not sure. I've been watching polls for over a year closely, and Huck's numbers bolster Bachmann and Palin as well. And may bolster Santorum but frankly, I think we can afford that. There's something to be said for him staying in and something to be said for him dropping out. Iowa is definitely better in the sense of a 'toss up' if he isn't there, but Bachmann is big there. BOTH he and Bachmann would have to drop out for this to be undiluted good imho.

[tangent4ronpaul]

I hope he isn't running, I can't help but feel he was just waiting for something official from Ron to jump in tho.

Or maybe that should be jump out? We all know Huck hurts us the most, but flip that to being in Huck's shoes - Wouldn't a Paul run hurt him the most? Maybe that was the deciding factor.

[TIMB0B]

The good thing is, I don't have nightmares.

The manager of his 2008 campaign hasn't heard anything so he is probably not running.

I live near that house. I'd hate to see anything happen to it if he were on the road running for President.

[libertybrewcity]

Should Ron Paul hire Ed Rollins now?

He could be an asset to the team. He is really good at what he does and has tons of connections. I know he dislikes Romney a lot, which is probably why Huck helped McCain in 08. Who knows if he agrees with RP though, or if RP would even want him.

Bummer.

Huckabee will do really well, since the Tea Party cares about gay marriage and abortion more than it does fiscal conservatism.


A new analysis by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life finds that Tea Party supporters tend to have conservative opinions not just about economic matters, but also about social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage. In addition, they are much more likely than registered voters as a whole to say that their religion is the most important factor in determining their opinions on these social issues. And they draw disproportionate support from the ranks of white evangelical Protestants.

[PaleoForPaul]

4/30:

Ed Rollins, Huckabee’s national campaign chairman four years ago, said he has been contacting fundraisers to give Huckabee a sense of how much support he’d have for another presidential bid. “He’s not said to me per se, ‘Ed, I’m running,’ but we wouldn’t be having planning meetings and all of the rest of it if he wasn’t,” Rollins said Speculation about Huckabee’s intentions has intensified since Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour’s surprise announcement this week that he would not seek the nomination. Barbour’s exit could improve the chances for another southerner in the race. The only other serious challenger with ties in the region, which is now the GOP’s political base, is former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia

5/11:

On May 11, 2011, Gingrich announced he will seek the Republican nomination to run in the 2012 presidential election.

Mike Huckabee has co-founded an education company. “Learn Our History” sells educational animated history videos for kids. The video featured on the website is about the Reagan Revolution. A sign that the former Arkansas governor isn’t running for president?

Ed Rollins, a veteran Republican strategist who has served as Mr. Huckabee’s top political adviser, said in an interview Friday that he does not believe Mr. Huckabee will run again.

“I have no idea,” Mr. Rollins said. But he added that the fact that Mr. Huckabee’s top people don’t know what announcement he will make is “pretty indicative that he’s not going to run.”

[HOLLYWOOD]

Should Ron Paul hire Ed Rollins now?

Yes... he's well experienced and does execute some of the sleaziest operations... perfect for American politics... though he's on FOX/NEWS CORP payroll, I wouldn't trust him too much.

At least Huckabee appears likable (although the destruction of all his Gubernatorial tapes was fishy) .Romney seems like a cold fish to me.

[sailingaway]

That was my first thought. Unfortunately it might actually solidify support behind some competitor or other, depending on who is running. We'll have to see. Santorum is too unlikable, I don't see him getting enough to worry about.

[TIMB0B]

Fox News just reiterated that Huck may NOT be running.

[trey4sports]

Ideal scenario....

Huck is not running, and his TV show is being renewed once again as a once-weekly t.v. show. The Judge will be taking over Becks daily timespot. Again, ideal scenario

Don't think so.
hooray.

[The Dark Knight]

after watching his interview with Cavuto, I think he may just run. He said he has made up his mind but wont let us know until tomorrow

[nocompromises]

Huckabee is a big government neocon monster, and I'll be glad when it is confirmed he is not in the race!

[amonasro]

He's building his multi-million beach dream house, is starting an educational company and seems to be doing well with his various radio, TV and book contracts. This is why political celebrities do not run for president.

[anaconda]

The announcement will be "I believe in a united America, not a divided America. And to this end, I endorse Ron Paul for president in 2012."

What is the temperature in hell outlook for this weekend?

[South Park Fan]

I predict that Huckabee endorses Pawlenty, after which he will have a "spontaneous" bump in the polls. Or he may just run in order to take advantage of his low odds on Intrade.

[TomtheTinker]

If he runs we should launch operation "Crush the Huck".

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

If Huckabee runs, it's just to troll the primaries.

[MozoVote]

In 2008, Huckabee was winning a few states here and there, but the momentum was with McCain after Florida. I honestly think there was a gentleman's agreement between the two, for Huckabee to drop out after Texas as to deny Ron Paul any kind of delegate pickup from his home state.

[anaconda]

If Huckabee runs, it's just to troll the primaries.

Yes. Maybe to run interference against Ron in Iowa.

[eduardo89]

"I have no idea what he's going to say," Ed Rollins, a top Huckabee adviser, told POLITICO, adding that he got no advance warning from Huckabee about the announcement — or even that he planned to make one. But he added that the lack of any heads-up to aides suggested Huckabee is going to pull the plug on the 2012 discussion.

"My guess is he is going to say he's not announcing a campaign," Rollins said. Huckabee's family had been against a run, Rollins said, which factored heavily into his decision.

Rollins had spent months preparing and planning extensively for a possible Huckabee campaign, and he said the former Arkansas governor had expressed fresh interest in recent months. But Rollins said that over the last week or two, things had suddenly changed, and Huckabee seemed to be pulling back.

He's in it for the money now. He's finally making millions, is finishing building a $2.2 million home on a $800,000 lot, his family is against him running, he just started another business....it doesn't make sense for him to run unless he's got a VERY good chance at winning...which he doesn't.

@EWErickson: Interesting. A friend told me he has been hired by Huck. Recently. For 2012.


My bet: The guy was actually hired to say he has hired.

[Bruno]

You have to have fire in your belly. He doesn't. Ron does. Huck isn't running.

[KramerDSP]

My bet: The guy was actually hired to say he has hired.

I would agree. Huck seems to want ratings for this show Saturday night.

[Theocrat]

If Huckabee does announce his candidacy, he will steal votes from Congressman Paul, particularly from the "values voters," which comprise a majority within the Republican Party. Dr. Paul cannot afford to reject bringing his Christian faith to the forefront as the basis for his libertarian views, if he wants to compete with Huckabee's rhetoric.

[Sentinelrv]

What time is huck making his announcement today?

[doodle]

He's dumping Jon Voight as his sidekick?

After the recent Pollard imprisonsment anti-semitism claim scandal sparked by Voight while travelling with Huckabee, do not believe Huackabee would be running for 2012 and keeping JV with him.

[ARealConservative]

Huck giving his own show an exclusive interview for launching a presidential bid would certainly get him in hot water with the FEC.

I'm positive he is out.

[trey4sports]

well, on Intrade he dropped from the 50's all the way down to 7% chance he will run. He has moved all the way back up to 30% chance today. Dont know what to make of it, but i wouldnt completely count him out.

[pcosmar]

The only announcement I want to hear is that he will exit the political stage, humble himself and pray.
And that he will devote himself to study and correcting the mistakes of his past.

I don't expect this, and will not likely tune in to listen.

[Aratus]

so far he hasn't said one way or the other
but he might actually do so real soon now?

[DrZ]

Ron Paul campaign should hire Ed Rollins

[rockandrollsouls]

I've said a number of times the campaign has no bloody clue what it's doing. I've also said we shouldn't worry about the Bible Belt.

Who's ready to start listening to me now?


He was planning on waiting until June, but is now polling even w/ Ron in AZ and Fox is purportedly asking them to say if they are running. So maybe he feels pushed. I don't know which way he'll go, but I wish he had waited until next weekend so Ron could keep his weekend in the news cycle, that has to be why the campaign chose Friday...

[rockandrollsouls]

Anything's better than what we've had. A campaign with some show of success would be great...

That being said Ron needs to start appealing to the average American revealing what these "humble politicians" are indulging in. Ron needs to show his humble home compared to the million dollar homes of Huck, Romney, and the other candidates. Ron's the only candidate with grounding in reality with the population.

[HOLLYWOOD]

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54955.html

Huckabee goes after Romney over health care. That's the distraction compared to Romney's Insider/Corporate raiding with BAIN Capital... the great destroyer of American companies, jobs, and pensions. We have Romney supporting Clinton National Health Care back in 1994... the baggage on Romney is piling up. One shot should be in front of a national audience debate is why Romney is not running and seeking the presidential nomination for the Democratic Party, since all his policies, mandates and destruction of business/free enterprise is in line with the leftist/Marxist party.

[TIMB0B]

I think this jargon that none of his campaign advisors (or whoever the hell) not knowing anything was all staged. It sounded too good to be true yesterday with each little tidbit popping up, but I think he was doing it to attract as many people as possible to his show, so when he announces he is running, he can conclude the program with his official campaign site and encourage those viewers to donate ASAP. Since it's on the weekend, he will gain a momentum of publicity going into Monday, and boom, he's "the new front runner." I'm sure he'll begin the show with talking himself up in terms of values and other irrelevant political shinola to build up compassion, luring the undecided in, and hook 'em by the end.

It just seems unlikely that he'd want thousands of his supporters tuning in just to disappoint them, so I think he's running for pres.

[zacharyrow]

I'm about 90% sure he's running. I hope this forum doesn't go into depressed mode. We can beat Huckabee.

[bobbyw24]

Mike Huckabee emailed a select group of advisers Friday evening to explain that he couldn't say what his 2012 plans are because of a "sworn obligation" to reveal it first on Fox, adding that "once I pull the trigger...things will get even crazier."

One source said the email appeared to have gone to roughly 10 people. Yet while it sparked widespread intrigue among political watchers, several sources close to Huckabee still remained unconvinced he will run again for the presidency, citing his approach to making a decision.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54974.html

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

I get the feeling he may run because Palin and Bachmann are probably staying out at this point. They all draw from the same evangelical Christian base. It's wide open right now with none of these people in the race. The Huck need only step in and claim them.

And that is unfortunate because Congressman Paul could easily win the evangelical base (http://www.covenantnews.com/ronpaul070721.htm) of the GOP, if he was wise enough to "play the game." Instead, he may give it over to Huckabee, which makes my task, as a Ron Paul Christian, harder in convincing other Christians to support him (especially nowadays). :(

I thought that would be a major infraction. Huckabud won't do much outside of the south

[LatinsforPaul]

If Huckabee is out, is it safe to say that Iowa is Dr. Paul's to lose. In essence, Ron Paul should be the favorite to win in Iowa. ;)

I think it's about time to accept that we're going to lose this election. It'll be another educational campaign. Not that that's a bad thing... but our country doesn't have much time left.

In a recent post on the Constitution Party Facebook Group that I'm in, a fellow Christian Constitutionalist had this to say about Congressman Paul:


I am not against voting Republican; however, I would not vote for Ron Paul if he was the only candidate in the race. You can support the constitution without being or appearing loony.

I hope more sentiments like that don't increase with other Christian voters, as the race goes on.

That isn't necessary a bad thing. Ron Paul in '07/08 KNEW he was going to lose. Yet his loss triggered the Tea Party Movement and launched his son into the Senate. That's why I'm ALL FOR another educational campaign, but I'm worried our country doesn't have much time left. Which is why I would kind of prefer Ron Paul to change his rhetoric.

This will definitely switch things up, surely for the worse. Huckabee WILL steal the evangelicals no doubt.

We are in this campaign to WIN.

I feel like we're WINNING this election. They know our momentum is huge, and if they don't slow us NOW with an all out attack, there will be no stopping us. This is a great position to be in!

In regards to Huckabee, it would give us a slight edge in polling if he stayed out, but if he goes in it's just another obstacle to overcome. The campaign has yet to begin in earnest, yet we're still climbing in the polls! (from 5% to 12% in AZ, and 3% to 9% in WV) Any time the Establishment is threatened, it will get very ugly to defend itself, and this will be the fight of our lives... but we can do it, and it will be worth it! :)

They're guessing, but they're putting their money where their mouths are, so they've probably put more time and effort into research. The trade volume for the day is also ~400 which is a rather large number of trades.

It doesn't necessarily mean anything except a lot of people think a certain way and are willing to bet money on it, but they have historically had some decent guessing skills.

Here's a piece Stossel did on it:

they are making their best predictions, based on information. The kicker is, they're putting their money where their mouth is. Intrade is very accurate even when i wish it wasn't.

[erowe1]

What does that mean though? Do these people know something we don't, or are they all just guessing also?

Well there are surely many people out there who know a wide variety of things we don't.

Intrade gives those people an opportunity to use whatever special knowledge they have to their advantage. The odds there are a reflection of the collective knowledge of all the betters, including those who know things others don't.

[IDefendThePlatform]

Yeah, its straight out of "The Wisdom of Crowds" by James Surowiecki.

The Iowa prediction market that they had at the University of Iowa had a perfect record of picking the next POTUS for a long time. I haven't checked on them recently.
