Good riddance. That show is the biggest trainwreck on FOX News, and given all of the illustrious competitors for the title, that's quite an accomplishment.

I think I must fit the demographic since the few times I tuned in I found the show very entertaining. If I did not know anything about Huckabee other than the show and did not pay attention all that closely to the politics side of it I would probably want him as President.

This is why I said the 6 year campaign commercial comes to an end tonight. I think the show has allot to do with his popularity.

He just said on the show himself that he's ending the show so he can decide if he's running for president or not.

If he does decide to run, he will start off in the top tier. I supported Huckabee in '08. That was back when I was a bit less libertarian, and a bit less atheist. lol

His show is still on? Wow - who knew?

[Schifference]

I never liked his show. I am guessing he is ending the show because of a lack of viewership/ratings.

At the rate things are going, will the next President be another Democrat?

All I see are a bunch of Lyndon B Johnson pieces of shit running for office.

[Schifference]

Wow did Megyn Kelly actually say that on the air? That is funny! Host of F*ckabee, lol.

[TaftFan]

Translation: He's running.

[jeffro97]

He's off the air? Question is, who fills the spot now? I'd like to see either of the two:

1. A new show with libertarians on it
2. Red Eye (w/ Greg Gutfeld) fill in the spot

1. The Independents (Kennedy, Matt Welch, Kmele)
2. Judge Nap Comeback

Let's see, romney is thinking about it, so is mccain, hillary is pretty much a given, now the huckster. This is shaping up to be a replay of 2008. Who's next, the ghoul?

[Schifference]

I am guessing since FOX news is Fair & Balanced they will get a liberal to slip into the format. How about a black liberal that they can manipulate and control? Maybe Juan Williams?

[philipped]

Seriously though? What is he going to campaign on? Being pro-common core and getting thrown in the same boat as Bush?

If it's gonna be gay marriage you can kiss the majority of millennial GOP support goodbye.

If he is looking for something to separate himself from the pack, then possibly, the FairTax. That was part of his platform in 2008.

A big part of his program in 2008, much like Herman Cain's 9/9/9 plan in 2012. And, FWIW (not to you, but the poster above you), he has changed his position on Common Core, so now he's on the right path once again!

I think he'll take Iowa and South Carolina, then many of the other Southern states if he runs again. The problem is he needs a brokered convention I think to really make his case, and that won't happen. Ever.

I think Florida will go to Jeb, though with someone like Huckabee Texas could possibly be up for grabs to him.

So, he could just simply be running to continue to build name recognition and speaking fees, sell some more books, and get another lucrative contract after he drops out. But, he may have a more clear shot at it than some others, depending on how well his last 6 years have helped him build his name recognition and his "base".
