I suspect the FEC may need to get involved if someone like Palin or 
Huckabee decides to run (Huck has decided not to, though), because there 
are laws about equal time that FNC would run seriously afoul of (IMHO) 
for giving someone like Palin a platform that wasn't available to the 
opposition.  Fred Thompson had to quit Law & Order when he decided to run 
for office because of those very same laws.
