Political Equinox

Ok. It’s re-he-he-eally early to discuss the presidential election of 2012. I’ve been one to bemoan those who rush into an election season too early, but I cannot help but applaud the politically shrewd move in Obama eliminating the only Republican that would have a shot at beating him. Moderate, youthful, Mandarin fluent Utah Governor John Huntsman will forego his foray onto the national political stage for at least another presidential election cycle. While this is at first glance a victory for Obama, this may actually help moderate Republicans in the long run. When Obama is no longer president, the still young Huntsman may be in the best position …

The New York Times finally got it. With just days to go in the election they finally published a story about the uncanny similarities between the West Wing presidential election and the real life Presidential election.

Of course, I’m making the assumption that the former Arkansas Governor was even on the list.

So how do I know he’s off the list? Typically, when you find out you are no longer a candidate for your desired job you go searching for other opportunities.

Huckabee is moving forward with all due speed on setting up a television show on the Fox News Channel. Why would a man who could …

Mike Huckabee’s website is spouting off rumors in all directions. In less that 18 hours, Huckabee’s new website will launch which brings us to three conclusions.

PAC Formation – This being the most likely option that Huckbaee is going to form a PAC, with the FairTax being the likely subject.
Telvision Show Announcement – Huckabee charmed America while running and a TV show wouldn’t surprise me, especially because he has worked in radio/tv.
Vice President Announcement – This option has about a .01% chance, but it is a remote possibility. I highly, highly, highly doubt this.

With about 70% certainty, my guess is the PAC. I’d sure like to work for …
