Well, flame away if you'd like but I think he makes a good point. Didn't Fox can Huckabee and Santorum both for being "maybes?" And isn't Sarah Palin still a contributor?
So either they're playing favorites or Fox knows something everybody else doesn't.
Huckabee is still at Fox. Newt and Santorum stopped being analysts at Fox, though, because they were going to run.
I think her contract reads ... “we pay you a lot of money to be a Fox News contributor, and you don't have to do very much”
Fox was explicit in the criteria by which they would take a prospective candidate off the air—and Palin has been careful not to meet those criteria.
Huckabee and Santorum are NO Palin. When Palin is on Fox, I (and probably a million others) tune in. When Huckabee appears, I generally switch to a Seinfeld rerun. Fox probably gets this.
