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.

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

Sure sounds like he’s running.
Oh jeez...............he is going to run.
So he’s running. What a circus it’s going to be with all these clowns.
I gather we'll know this evening.
Dear Huck
You’re a nice guy and all that... but we really don’t care about this as much as you think we do.
Please tell me your ‘momentus decision announcement’ is NO
Please.
2012 is shaping up to be a repeat of 2008.
Crap...
The presidential pool just got wider...but no deeper.
Who does he think he is? Lebron James?
I didn’t think that the Miami Heat had any more free agent monies available.
His audience will be about double for this particular show.
He is being careful not to offend his employers. Which is smart if he decides to run and leaves the door open to come back if things do no pan out.
What he will do? My gut says he will run. (Just based on Huck’s past behavior) He wants to be President in the simplest of terms.
Sounds like he is going to run.
FUMH!!!!
This makes no sense... his Iowa cronies have already committed to others... will they come back??? I hope he stays the Huck out.
Sounds like the announcement is going to be that he is giving up his Fox show to set up an exploratory committee to run for President. By doing that, he will spare Fox any legal troubles by making an actual proclamation he is running for President.
Had a robo call from him in voice mail yesterday....took it as a sign he’s running...
He can run but he can’t hide from “Willie Horton” problem.
Candidate Huckabee will shake things up and necessarily so.
