Santorum, Gingrich Suspended from Fox News

They Report, You Decide: Fox News has announced today it is suspending the paid on-air contributions of former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. So what about the more prominent faces/voices of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and 2008 Iowa caucus winner Mike Huckabee? Those two are not included in the suspension, according to the story in Politico. The article quotes a Fox spokesperson as saying that Palin and Huckabee haven't been seriously looking at forming a presidential exploratory committee.

This announcement would seem to give further "proof" to those who have serious doubts about whether Palin and Huckabee would give up their lucrative lives for a shot at beating President Barack Obama. Palin and Huckabee keep saying they're looking at running. It would be nice to be a fly on the wall to hear how those two talk with the Fox big wigs on their intentions, wouldn't it?

Mauro's Home Robbed, Palin Video

Mauro Robbed: Wow, you talk about kicking a man when he is down. Someone apparently broke into Iowa's outgoing Secretary of State Michael Mauro's house yesterday, stole things and ransacked the place. Stay classy, Des Moines.

Hello, 2012: Now that we have made it through the 2010 elections, Iowans can expect the tourism business to pick up. Mike Huckabee is scheduled to come back to the state next month to speak before The Iowa Family Policy Center Action's "Celebrate the Family" event. Huck is the only possible 2012'er scheduled to visit here, at least that I can remember. Stay tuned though:)

Speaking of 2012, Sarah Palin has a new video out that celebrates election night, particularly some of the candidates she endorsed. You won't find people like Christine O'Donnell, her losing senate candidate from Delaware, or Sharron Angle, her losing senate choice from Nevada. Will the video keep her on the prowl for 2012, or should I say "on the growl"?
