Former Arkansas Governor, Baptist preacher and Mormon-hater Mike Huckabee is the only one among the FOX Network flunkies that admits that it's all about money. When FOX is paying you a couple million dollars a year, and you have a built-in audience to peddle books, gold and reality television shows, it becomes pretty difficult to give up all of that bling. It doesn't help these FOX talking heads are all idiots without any original thoughts and all are trapped in the jingoism of hate and blame politics.
In an actual campaign, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin would actually have to answer questions from reporters and voters. Palin already failed at that once before, and can't seem to untie her tortured toungue, even as a paid "consultant" for a major television network (Libya is a "squirmish" not a war). Beck would lose his lucrative endorsements if he ran for office.
Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh have huge followings of lost sheep, and fleece them regularly, to the tune of millions of dollars per year. They only work part-time, and compared to the rigors of the Presidency, hardly work at all. Even George W. Bush worked harder as Cheney's mouthpiece than Hannity or lardass, er, Limbaugh. It's a much easier job being a pundit. All you need to do is criticize the opposition relentlessly, regardless of fact, reality or decency. You don't have to build up anything, just tear down everyone else.
Other than these FOX mouthpieces, the R-party has few options: Newt Gingrich is a festering, pus-filled boil than nobody likes; Tim Pawlenty is Gomer Pyle and Rick Santorum is, well, just look up Santorum in Google or the Urban Dictionary.
What the R-party has left is Mitt "Shifty" Romney, a politically inclined business robber-baron who flip-flops more often than a beachside sandal vendor in Maui, or Jon Huntsman, Jr., the former US Ambassador to the People's Republic of China for the current Obama Administration. And both these guys are Mormon, and Pastor Huckabee sure as Hell won't stand for that.
He'd rather have a Kenyan in the White House than a Mormon.
