Don’t forget: Huck has an ever-better paying gig at ABC/Citadel Radio. He’s been the designated successor to Paul Harvey for the past couple of years, and earns big bucks for his three-times-a-day newscast.
Heard recently that Huck is building a multi-million dollar mansion in Florida. Don’t think he ever made more than $75K a year, even as governor of Arkansas. Now, he can make $2-3 million a year from his media jobs for the next 4-5 years, then decide if he wants to get back into politics.
When I heard the former governor was building that house in Florida, I knew he would take a pass on 2012. Kinda hard to give up those radio and TV jobs (and the fat paychecks that come with thme) for an uphill battle for the GOP nomination, with no guarantee that Fox or Citadel would rehire him after a failed run.
