1. I think thats good news for Palin and Bachmann and the other crazy candidates

Huck had a lot of the fundie vote

2. at the end he said something like.....

he'd still be standing up for common sense solutions, the Constitution, and 'civil discourse'.

Sound like what Palin would say except for the 'civil discourse' part!

3. That leaves him a sack full of voters to hand out.

Let the competition for it begin.

4. WOW, what a shock! n-t

5. Which causes me to ask who the thinnest potential GOP candidate is?

Because they need to go up against thin and tan.

6. I think this has already been posted a few times,

but news is not really news at DU unless it gets posted at least 3 times the day it happens and then for the next 3 days as well.

8. It was posted within literal minutes from each other, typing happened at the same time

I'm sure you understand.

7. So it's going to be Mittens-Huck ticket? Fits the geographica & otherl formulae. n/t

9. Great! I just started a post giving all of the reasons why he probably made this smart decision.

Also, Lawrence O'Donnell said on his show yesterday, that he "heard" that this was the announcement that Chucklebee was going to make today. Very sly that Huck, he knew what would be brought up about his past while being vetted for the Presidency and made a perfectly sensible choice. That doesn't change the fact that he's a fake, phony and fraud, it's just that now, most of his past probably won't be brought up and investigated like it would have been.
