This evening I wanted to share with you some news that is very personal to me. Because you have been such a good friend and a strong supporter of all my efforts, I wanted you to know first that tonight I will do more than just say goodnight on my Fox show. I will say goodbye.
This is the last edition of Huckabee on the Fox News Channel. It has been the ride of a lifetime, and I have never had so much fun in my life. But I also realize that God hasn¹t 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. 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. The honorable thing to do at this point is to end my tenure here at Fox so I can openly talk with potential donors and supporters and gauge support. As much as I have loved doing the show, I love my country more, and feel that it may be time for me to leave a zone of comfort to engage in the conflicts that have almost destroyed the bedrock foundations of America. I feel compelled to ascertain if the support exists strongly enough for another Presidential run. So as we say in television, stay tuned!

OP
Sounds like the typical baptist preacher resignation, think they have a class at the seminary.

They say they "hear God's calling them somewhere else " which interprets he is getting a raise in salary or they have screwed up where they are and someone has ask them to leave.

Jeb, of Fuck The Public Schools and Keep Terri Schiavo Alive fame?
How much more right can one go...?
Or is he running for VP?

(58,670 posts)7. Well, considering that he had to have a studio audience...
on his show, making it sound like an infomercial, which it was I guess, I'm wondering how many votes his supporters can hire and bus into his campaign.
His show is a fave of my crazy (soon to be ex-) RW roommates, so I know.
