Huckabee Will Host a Presidential Forum on Fox News (Romney, Newt and Santorum will attend)

The Republican presidential candidates may have grown tired of debating one another. But there’s still one television invitation they won’t turn down: Mike Huckabee’s.

Mr. Huckabee will host his third presidential forum on Saturday, an executive for the Fox News Channel said on Tuesday. So far three candidates, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, have committed. Ron Paul has still not indicated whether he will attend.

The program, which is scheduled from 8 to 10 p.m., will be broadcast from Ohio, the executive said, speaking anonymously because a formal announcement had not been made.

Mr. Huckabee will focus the forum on jobs and the economy, a particularly potent subject in Ohio where the manufacturing sector has suffered greatly. Underscoring that distress, the setting for the event will be a now-shuttered DHL plant in Wilmington.

Wilmington was devastated when DHL, the shipping giant, reduced its United States workforce by 9,500 three years ago. The city, with only about 12,000 residents at the time, had thousands of jobs disappear.

During the program, Mr. Huckabee will be joined by Charlie Gasparino, a senior correspondent for Fox Business Network, and Elaine Chao, a labor secretary to George W. Bush and now a Fox News contributor, and three Ohio residents whose lives have been affected by the recession.

So far I have not watched any of these lynchings.

That ole catfish-eater still outclasses the Rat MSM by light years.

[ReneeLynn]

I didn’t notice any fatigue in the debates. Go Newt!

[sheikdetailfeather]

Yes. The Huckabee forum is better than the MSM.

[seekthetruth]

The forums held by Huckabee have been great. Questions are good and no libs in charge!

I hope all in the Super Tuesday states will watch Huckabee this weekend!

FINALLY!
A “Real” debate, with REAL QUESTIONS, without Ron Paul to reinforce the “CRAZY REPUBLICANS!” meme...

CNN has had DEMOCRAT ANALYSTS commenting on the REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES all day long. It will be a nice change.

Sending an Ohio Freeper ping here. I hope many will tune in as the forums Huckabee has done have been very good. Even Rush has stated the same.

Hope also folks might visit this thread. Wise words from my friend, Beverly Perlson of The Band of Mothers.

I like the sound of this forum, especially with Charlie Gasparino participating. And, with the focus on energy and the economy, Newt should be able to make a powerful case for his comprehensive energy and jobs agenda!

This is not a debate, huckster interviews each, one at a time.

Mr. Huckabee will focus the forum on jobs and the economy, on bolstering mittens and marginalizing Newt -

but Newt's smarter than the "hick-billy" This might be fun.

Thanks for the heads up!
I’ll pass the word on to family and friends so they’ll know about it.

Thanks for the ping, seekthetruth!

I will actually watch all of this, since there will be legitimate questions and an opportunity for the candidates to explain themselves clearly.

I'm guessing the hideous gas prices will come up in the discussion. A nasty little detail that the MSM completely ignores.

I thought Romney and Santorum said there would be no more debates before Super Tuesday.

Oops. /s
