Republican Mike Huckabee received praise from politics’ ‘odd couple’ – former President Bill Clinton and former Speaker Newt Gingrich – who said in separate interviews Sunday that he is the most likely “dark horse candidate” to win the GOP presidential nomination. One might say they’re “HUCKABEELIEVERS™” now!
Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who now ranks fourth in Iowa among likely Republican caucus-goers, welcomed the positive comments, saying his first-place finish in the recent “Values Voter” poll — along with other significant developments — has buoyed his chances for victory.
Call this a more or less summary of quite a bit of issues relating to Mike Huckabee.
I just finished watching Hannity and Colmes and I was listening to Newt Gingrich speak about his issues he had with running in the campaign. According to the McCain Feingold act Newt could not have any contact whatsoever to a political group such as American Solutions while being an announced candidate. Yeah I know this has nothing to do with Mike Huckabee, but It will. Colmes asked Newt “Who in the current GOP race best resembles yourself?” Newt cordially replied, “I can’t tell you that!” and flashed a bright grin. But we know where he stands or hope we know. You may have already read this from Vertical Day:
Over the past few months I’ve been very impressed with the Governor’s openness to new ideas and solutions for improving our country. He showed genuine leadership a few weeks ago by being the first candidate to sign the Nine Nineties in Nine debate pledge. By committing to a much more in-depth, solution-oriented political dialogue in our country, Governor Huckabee showed that he’s truly interested in real change.

Little Rock, AR – Former AR Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee received praise from politics’ ‘odd couple’ – former President Bill Clinton and former Speaker Newt Gingrich –who said Sunday, in separate interviews, that he is the most likely “dark horse candidate” to win the GOP nomination.
Huckabee, who now ranks fourth in Iowa among likely Republican Caucus-Goers, welcomed the positive comments, saying his 1st place win in the recent “Values Voter” poll – along with other significant developments, has buoyed his chances for victory.
Huckabee is now ahead of Sen. John McCain in Iowa and nearly tied with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, according to a Sept. 29 Newsweek poll conducted with 1,215 Iowa registered voters by Princeton Survey Research Associates International on Sept. 26-27.
“The Newsweek poll reflects what we’ve been feeling on the ground for some time: that there is steady, upward momentum for my campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire , and other early primary states,” said Huckabee.
