Short version: Ailes does not take either very seriously.

Keep dreaming, lib hack.

Huck and Palin are the two leading contenders. Ailes is holding onto them as long as possible. Plus they bring ratings. Santorum not so much.

Has nothing to do with it at all. Newtsie has already said he will be making it formal in the next two weeks. Probably the same for Santorum.

It is probably that these two guys have told Ailes they are running.

Palin nad Huck will leave if and when they decide to run.
