about running for president, rick snyder says tonight he is officially out. "i do not have plans to run for president in 2016" as of a couple hours ago. governor snyder previously held one of the spots on our list of 22 likely republican presidential candidates this year. 22. 22. which is an insane number because this is -- this is not a list of cranks and protest candidates and people who, like, change their name to something embarrassing so they can run for office and see their funny name on the ballot. i'm looking at you, limberbutt mccubbins. the list of 22 people that we have been working with, it does not include the limberbutt mccubbins' of the world. this is our real list of who is legitimately in contention on the republican side and likely to run. honestly 22 names is an unwieldy thing to handle. it is an unusually large number of people when you're trying to put together a list of likely presidential contenders. historically speaking, it's unprecedented. there's never been a field that big. it has been creating problems this year. it created problem

and carly fiorina announcing in the afternoon and then mike huckabee and then michigan governor, rick snydert run and that we might get rick santorum by the end of the month. the huckabee announcement provides a particularly good snapshot of something going on in republicanville that does not necessarily make sense in the rest of the country. but because it is going on in republicanville, it is going to be a national hum in the rest of our politics. here is how it goes. in conservative politics, one of mike huckabee's most potent allies has always been chuck norris. yes, chuck norris. he is now 75 years old. chuck norris is still the platonic ideal of an action hero to a certain chunk of the mike huckabee base. he gets to do joint appearances and funny campaign ads with chuck norris like this one. now that mr. huckabee is running again, he is deploying chuck norris again. as mike huckabee was announcing he is going to run for president again yesterday, chuck norris simultaneously was doing an interview with the "new york times" explaining how there is no one better qualified in america to be

so find rick snyder on this page. look closely at rick snyder. in three, two, one -- poof. there goes rick snyder. now see if you can find john bolton. hint, mustache. three, two, one, poof. that's it. those are the only two we've been able to get rid of before today. today we are able to go out on a limb to remove one head off this assemblage of candidates and likely candidates. today we get to poof indiana governor mike pence. the chair of the indiana state republican said that mike pence next month is going to announce at an indiana state fund-raiser that instead of running for president in 201 he's going to run for re-election as indiana governor. so i do reserve the right to unpoof him and put him back if it turns out the chairman is lying or has been misled in some way. if that state party chairman is right and pence will be running for re-election as governor that means he is no longer running for president. let's say good-bye to indiana governor mike pence. three, two, one -- poof. i love how long the cloud lingers. that's my favorite thing. i can still smell him. m

let's move on to rick snyder. governor of michigan. ere is speculation he will enter the race for the republican nomination, because he has proven he can unite right, left, red and blue. rick -- governor snyder: the other is to see who else is running. look at michigan, look at a washington. the where the bottom of the recession by far. cut our unemployment rate in half. stephanie: they didn't reunite but they were obviously in a desperate situation. hopefully other states aren't in a stitch -- aren't in a situation that bad. stephanie: -- erik: we pressed him on what it would take for him to enter the race. he mentioned family matters. a great deal of attention. it's on another level. who else is going to enter the race? stephanie: i hope if he decides to run he will choose d snider to sing whoever his campaign song is. he may end up going with kid rock. eminem also at detroit guy. i got a chance to sit down with the one, the only swoon pickens . he has more than spunk. we had -- we talk about oil prices, we talk about carl icon. we ta

rick snyder of michigan is making similar noises about running now. he will come in at about the same tier as john kasich. mike pence of indiana did have a bit of a national setback with his anti-discrimination stance last month. he is a prospect for the presidency. i understand because i know you that you laugh at the prospect of a donald trump candidacy, but donald trump, believe me, is actually hiring campaign staff in multiple early voting presidential states. and donald trump polls surprisingly well among likely republican voters. this year, the role of tim pawlenty will be played by george pataki in the sense that to the outside world he is a bit of a snooze fest, but governor pataki is well respected and well connected in republican mainstream politics. john bolton, the angriest ambassador ever, another candidate who has a donald trump-esque laugh factor outside conservative politics. but he has a permanent seat on the fox news channel. he will be taken seriously in many republican circles, particularly foreign policy circles. even old jim gilm

the only people we took off the list is rick snyder and jack bolton who said they are not running. they are all apparently still in it which creates a fascinating numerical challenge for the republican party with how they hold debates with that many people in the running. last week jonathan martin reported on the republican party going through this process and arguments about how they'll do the whole 20-plus candidates debate thing. he reported this intriguing nows what the bobby jindal camp is asking for. what the bobby jindal camp is reportedly pushing for is a new debate idea they've never done before. one idea they've floated is back-to-back debates with seven, eight candidates in each chosen at random. basically the jindal folks are lobbying for it heats, back-to-back debates featuring 20 candidates. maybe that's three debates with seven candidates each, randomly assigned. do you do [iy heats of four, three cheats of eight, four cheats of 12, what if it's a prime number. if it is three heats of seven. do you run them through in one night? does it go fire drill style where ever

the first one we were able to take off the list was rick snyder. second one was u.n. ambassador john bolton. and then it was indiana governor mike pence. bye-bye. that was three of them. three of them saying they won't run. we still have 19 little republican heads up there. we are still at 19. and maybe we are not going to go down from that number at all. at least we're not going to any time soon. i mean, we can add this, right? these people with little red boxes around them, they have formally confirmed that they are in. all of these people have formally declared they are running for the republican nomination for president in 2016. it's very clear they're not going to be the hole field, it's not just that we're going to add the obvious and famous people like jeb bush and scott walker to that list, and we will eventually have to add them. even the most obscure and anonymous remaining people on our list are not going to be poofed off this list either. they're just not opting out. nobody's opting out any more. one after the other, they keep either announcing that they'r

the only people we moved off the list are rick snyder and john bolton who both said they're not running're a apparently still in it which creates this fascinating challenge for the republican party how they can hold debates with that many people in the running. well, interesting point here. last week, jonathan martin at "the new york times" reported on the republican party going through this process and going through these arguments how they're going to do the whole 20 plus candidates debate thing. he reported this intriguing news about what the bobby yindal camp is asking for, what the camp is reportedly pushing for is a whole new kind of debate idea that has never been done before. "one idea they have floated is back to back debates with seven or eight candidates in each chosen at random." so basically the jindal folks are lobbing to have like a debate tournament. heats. back to back debates featuring random pools of candidates. now, if it's 21 candidates, that could mean like three debates with seven candidates each. randomly assigned. does raise other questions if the number goes up

claude snyder asking, would you support term limits for congress? rick perry: i'm not a big fan of term limits and let me tell you why. i think the key to our democracy is having an engaged constituency out there. and if you have a really great ceo that's running your country, running your company, running your state why would you want to limit them? if you've got somebody that's not doing a good job, you go out there and fire them, and you do it through the ballot box. here's my great concern. if you put term limits into place, here's who you are empowering. i think it's kind of an easy way to go and say let's just term limit them or we'll keep mary and keep bill only in congress for six years, and then they're gone, we'll get a new one. that way they can't foul this up. if we do that, then what we have done is we have put the bureaucrats in charge, and the bureaucrats, i was in government long enough to understand the bureaucrats when they know that there's term limits. they'll go oh, yes, sir, we'll get right to that, and they wink and nod, and then y
