Susan Ferrechio - Huckabee decision leaves GOP presidential primary wide open
Mike Huckabee's announcement on Saturday that he will not make a second bid for the GOP presidential nomination has left Republicans with a large field of candidates but no clear front-runner.

Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina typically minces no words, but especially so when it comes to President Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) trying to force Boeing Aircraft Co. to drop its plans to create 1,000 new jobs in her state building the new 787 Dreamliner commercial jet.
