Is Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee a closet crunchy-con? He came by the DMN today to talk to the editorial board about his run for the GOP presidential nomination. I wasn't able to attend the meeting, but my colleagues came out...
Thank you for your column about Mike Huckabee. I'd like to invite you and your readers to learn more about the man who is perhaps America's most unique leader at http://www.mikehuckabeepresident2008.blogspot.com

I think Huckabee is not only one to watch, but to support as well. He is a different kind of leader, and one that we could use in our country now.>

Huckabee's name was the first that came to my mind when chatting with my grandma about any politicians anywhere on the scene who seemed to have integrity & charm enough to get us out of the disasterous rut of partisanship we're in.
As it turned out, my grandma had met Mrs. Huckabee once, and said that she was terrific, too.
So there you have it. Huckabee 2008: He Seems Nice.
Whether or not he runs for president, it would be great for America if he could become a leader for a constructive, mature political Religious Right, replacing anger- and resentment-driven rejectionists like Dr. Dobson, or amoralists like Ralph Reed who see in Christianity a means to amass power.>

Unlike other politicians, he actually had the discipline to lose weight without tricks like stomach stapling. And he did it with whole, natural foods. If he was a WAPer I would support him 100%.
He's probably the best of the mix. On the other hand, I'd kind of like to see the country fall apart and I haven't decided yet if I want to vote prudently or recklessly. Not that it really matters.>
A View From Iowa

I had the pleasure of hearing Huckabee speak during one of his recent trips to Iowa and I got to meet him afterwards. I have to say he's the real deal. Not only did he wow the crowd with his remarks and style, but he also laughed and talked with everyone afterwards like he'd spent his whole life in Iowa. I think its safe to say not one person in that room didn't genuinely like him. I have not seen a Republican connect like that since Reagan.

Huckabee is the only candidate that truly encompasses my belief's. I would strongly recommend that all Republican's take a good look at this man before deciding on one of the Sudo Republican candidate's.>
