Huckabee has been brought on the Fox News staff to help with the election talks.

Former Republican presidential hopeful, Mike Huckabee, has been hired by Fox News Channel as a political commentator. Bill Shine, senior vice president of programming told the Associated Press on Thursday, “Gov. Huckabee’s campaign experience and knowledge of politics makes him a great addition to our ongoing election coverage.” Huckabee has served as governor of Arkansas for 10 ½ years, and dropped out of the presidential race in March after John McCain won enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination, reported Reuters. He was able to win Iowa and seven other states in the beginning despite his lack of funds. He released a statement through his daughter Sarah, reported Reuters, which said: “I hope to bring the unique perspective from ‘inside the dragon’s belly’ as well as try to speak for the millions of hardworking middle-class Americans who really do feel that their voices are not being heard. I saw that on the campaign trail and continue to see as I speak to groups of all kinds around the country as well as campaign for other candidates.” The governor, an ordained Baptist preacher, has been mentioned as a possible running mate for McCain and since leaving the race has formed a political action committee that will help raise money for McCain and other Republicans, reported Reuters.

1. That's great, on election night when Obama wins we can watch a whole slew of

right wing ass holes crying in their beer on Faux News. I'll enjoy reading the suicide notes in freeperville too that night.

2. I predict Huckabee flames out early.

The Huckster lacks the ability to self-edit. That's kind of important on live tee-vee.

4. Surprise, surprise

I felt that he thought such a gig was in his future. But I bet he hoped that it would be with somewhere more respected. Now - he still gets no respect from anyone with any smarts.
