If you are hoping that Mike Huckabee was going to announce if he’s running for president on his show tonight, it looks like you are out of luck. Huckabee’s scripted statement that will end his boring show tonight says that if he decides to run for president in 2016, Mike Huckabee wouldn’t make any announcement until the spring.

Huckabee does say in his statement that if he wasn’t thinking about running in 2016, he could continue his show on Fox News. But since he is ‘undecieded’ at this point, he couldn’t continue with the show as it was ‘unfair’ to him and Fox News. Sounds like he’s running to me.
Little Rock – Governor Mike Huckabee will announce tonight on his Fox News show that he is leaving the network after six-and-a-half years as the host of “Huckabee.” To close out his final show, Gov. Huckabee said:
“Tonight I will do more than just say goodnight. I will say goodbye. This is the last edition of ‘Huckabee’ on the Fox News Channel. It’s been the ride of a lifetime, and I have never had so much fun in my life. But I also realize that God hasn’t put me on earth just to have a good time or to make a good living, but rather has put me on earth to try to make a good life.
“There has been a great deal of speculation as to whether I would run for President. If I were willing to absolutely rule that out, I could keep doing this show. But I can’t make such a declaration. I won’t make a decision about running until late in the spring of 2015, but the continued chatter has put Fox News into a position that is not fair to them nor is it possible for me to openly determine political and financial support to justify a race. The honorable thing to do at this point is to end my tenure here at Fox. As much as I have loved doing the show, I cannot bring myself to rule out another Presidential run. So as we say in television, stay tuned!”
Jeb Bush and maybe Mike Huckabee. The GOP is off to a lousy start for the 2016 presidential race.
