TV host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he is leaving his Fox News talk show as he considers whether to seek the Republican nomination for president, a decision he expects to reach in the spring.
Huckabee said Saturday night's edition of "Huckabee" would be his last as he ponders his political future. The weekly show, which is taped with a live audience and features political commentary as well as interviews with guests and musical entertainment, has been on the air for more than six years.
"There has been a great deal of speculation as to whether I would run for president. If I were willing to absolutely rule that out, I could keep doing this show. But I can't make such a declaration," he said on the show, according to a statement provided by his office.

The lib comedians are already licking their chops at pimping the "Crazy Republicans!" meme.
Here's a Tweet from Paula Poundstone, from just 15 minutes ago:
"Let me be the first to thank Mike Huckabee for running for president. It's like finding buried treasure."
Replies: "It's the gift that keeps on giving"
Of course, they couldn't find ANYTHING to joke about Obama for the last seven years! (Not if they ever wanted another paid gig, anyway....)
I will not miss him on TV and no way i would vote for him ..Bye Bye Huck
Two words: Clarence Clemmons.
Ain’t no f-ing way.
‘Scuse me...Maurice Clemmons.
STILL ain’t no f-ing way.
BIG BIG LOUD DITTO!
Huckabee’s political future is obscurity.
The Big Man?
No, Governor, keep your TV show and forget about running for president - again.
This is how I knew that Palin wasn’t running through all of 2011 in spite all the endless Palinista claims that she was that year.
She was employed by FNC as a political commentator in 2011 on Greta mostly.
She obviously told FNC higher ups that she had no intention of running but still teased their audience that she might. (and it worked with Palinistas, WOW)
That is why she was allowed to stay there and be on Greta all thru the year.
I just heard on the radio today that Schmuckabee went to worship on Colbert’s last show on Comedy Central. He’s a needy, self-serving narcissist liar. We don’t need him in the White House. He’s so greedy he’s more dangerous than Jeb.
First Jeb, now this. 2015 ought to be a great year.
Bush, Romney, Huckabee...I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
I do not want him to run! Too much baggage! My wife loves him as she met him several years ago.
It’s not that he would make a good President, but he just has something that bothers me, I can’t quite point it out!
But then, if it was a choice between him and some leftist pinko commie democrat on the final ballot, he would be the only choice.
Time to go back to the smokey back room to choose a candidate!
Huckabee is the stalking horse to draw off the “Feel Good Rockband Jeebus” crowd...
Doesn’t he know the Smother’s Brothers Show was cancelled?
(Pat Paulsen reference)
Follow the money.
OK...now I have to wipe ginger ale off my monitor. LOL
