Chris wallace. none of those three have declared that he theyre going to run. in fact i saw governor huckabee playing his little guitar upstairs and dancing around. he looks happy. all of the other republican candidates who may run are in the single digits. so, lets take the frontrunner in this abc poll governor huckabee first. i think he is going to run. what do you think? >> you know, im not sure. and let me just say something that i think is counter intuitive. i think a lot of liberals think ...

People know him well there and speaker gingrich, both made a lot of trip there is. >> right. they in that class that are doing the things they need to do to put themselves in the position. the potential for a bachmann to disrupt the race she would take a segment of fiscal conservatives off the table. that may scare another candidate or two out of the race thats where she is likely to have the biggest impact. >> greta: if she is taking some, palin, huckabee taking some, someone who is not going t...

Speak of who will be the g.o.p. front runner to run against president obama, the usual suspects, right? governor huckabee, our colleague leading the pack. sarah palin, romney, gingrich, and perhaps john thune but is there a different name that could be thrown in? a name that has been in before in 2008. >>clayton: giuliani, the form mayor of new york city, was on hannity last might and says he is reconsidering a run for the presidency. take a listen. >> thinking. have not decided. thinking seriou...

Supporters exist. can any republican let up at the top or is there some conviction it is an essential sales tool? >> i do feel in the air kind of gear shifts taking place in the last week partly in response to this terrible tragedy in tucson. partly in response to the republicans having majority in the house of representatives and being back in the gain. partly because of the eminent of this health care vote lead you to think whats on the other side of the vote. annuity gringrich, you may think ...
