Well, Newt has made some news since this post, but on that day he and Santorum were let go by Fox because they will likely be candidates.

Right. I meant accumulated previous airtime a la the fairness doctrine or the like (which is what I thought you were saying originally??). Some have argued for a re-introduction of that through legislation or FCC fiat, even outside of declared candidates, in a desire to muzzle largely right talk radio.

Well, actually Bill, there is such an equal time rule that specifies broadcast station must provide equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it. If All five potential candidates do wind up running for for president, Fox would, one by one, be forced to either let them go or give the opposition an equal amount of time.

Thank Goodness we don’t have a government (yet) that forces such a thing.

I agree. When I heard about Newt again, all I could think was just: Oh, goodie.

I don’t think Palin wants to be president, she just knows her income in based on people believing she does.

Something tells me the coming election year will be even more entertaining than the 2008. Palin is seriously running?
