HUNTINGTON - The song blaring out of the public address system in the Huntington North High School gymnasium was Hoosier John Mellencamp's "Small Town," but the event was anything but small time. The several thousand enthusiastic supporters were on hand for former Vice President Dan Quayle's formal announcement that he is stepping back into big-time politics - a run for the presidency of the United States. Quayle returned to his hometown Wednesday to make official his intention to seek the Republican nomination for the nation's highest office. "I've come back home to Huntington today to announce that I will seek and I will win the presidency of the United States," Quayle said, evoking a rousing ovation from his hometown supporters. He said he's confident of a successful campaign because of the strong support he's always received from Huntington and Indiana.
