Mike Huckabee For Vice President! 

About 2008 vice presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee.

Michael Dale "Mike" Huckabee (born August 24, 1955) is a former governor of the U.S. state of Arkansas, having served from 1996 to 2007. He was the third Republican governor of the state since Reconstruction and was the highest rated political figure in Arkansas for parts of his tenure. He officially announced his candidacy for the 2008 United States presidential election on January 28, 2007, and he has been running a national campaign since then. Huckabee is an ordained Southern Baptist minister. He is well known for losing 110 pounds in a very short time andMike Huckabee advocating a healthy lifestyle.


Huckabee was born in Hope, Arkansas, to Mae Elder and Dorsey W. Huckabee. His father worked as a fireman and a mechanic and his mother worked as a clerk in a gas company. He has one sister who is a middle school teacher. He was elected Governor of Arkansas Boys State in 1972 and is a Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Alumnus. He was president of Hope High School in 1973. He married Janet McCain on May 25, 1974. He graduated magna cum laude from Ouachita Baptist University, completing his bachelors degree in 2½ years before attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.


In Huckabee's first political race, he lost to incumbent U.S. Senator Dale Bumpers (D) in 1992, receiving 40 percent of the vote. That same election saw Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton ascend to the Presidency. This made Lieutenant Governor Jim Guy Tucker the new Governor. Huckabee narrowly won a special election for lieutenant governor over Nate Coulter, who had been Dale Bumpers campaign manager the previous year, on July 27, 1993. He then became only the second Republican since Reconstruction to have served as Arkansas lieutenant governor, the first being Maurice L.Mike Huckabee Britt from 1967 to 1971. Huckabee was re-elected to a full term as lieutenant governor in 1994 beating Charlie Cole Chaffin 59-41. Dick Morris, who had previously worked for Bill Clinton, advised Huckabee on his races in 1993 and 1994. Huckabee commented that Morris was a "personal friend". A newspaper article reported on Huckabee's 1993 win: "Morris said the mistake Republicans always make is that they are too much of a country club set. What we wanted to do was run a progressive campaign that would appeal to all Arkansans.'" Morris elaborated, "So we opened the campaign with ads that characterized Mike as more of a moderate whose values were the same as those of other Arkansans." In 1996, Huckabee ran for US Senate again and won the Republican nomination. He quit the US Senate race in order to become Governor. In November 1998, Huckabee was elected to a full four-year term. He defeated Jonesboro attorney Bill Bristow, a Democrat, in the general election. Source

Bailing On Our Principles 

Mike Huckabee is sickened by the Republican Party's financial crisis bail out.

Frankly, I'm disappointed and disgusted with my own Republican party as I watch them attempt to strong-arm a bailout of some of America's biggest corporations by asking the taxpayers to suck up the staggering results of the hubris, greed, and arrogance of those who sought to make a quick buck by throwing the dice. They lost, but want the rest of us to cover their bets so they won't be effected in their lavish lifestyles as they figure out how to spend their tens of millions and in some cases, hundreds of millions in bonuses and compensation which was their reward for not only sinking their companies, but basically doing the same to the entire American economy.


It's especially disconcerting to see the very people who pilloried me during the Presidential campaign for being a "populist" and not "understanding Wall Street" to now line up like thirsty dogs at the Washington, D. C. water dish, otherwise known as Congress, and plead for help. I thought these guys were the smartest people in America! I thought that taxpayers like you and I were similar to the people at the U. N. who have no translator speaking into their headset - that we just needed to trust those that I called the power bunch in the "Wall Street to Washington axis of power."

Vice President Mike Huckabee? 

Huckabee Vies for No. 2 Spot on Republican Presidential Ticket

Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is making his pitch to be John McCain's running mate.


Huckabee, appearing Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," said besides himself, he was rooting for McCain to be the presidential nominee, and "there's no one I would rather be on a ticket with than John McCain."


As to whether McCain would actually pick the former Arkansas governor as a vice presidential candidate, Huckabee said only McCain can decide whether that's the best thing for him, but he will support him in any case.


"We are in crisis.  We are in crisis with $4 a gallon gasoline, we're in crisis with small businesses who can't barely get through their government paperwork, and I believe that right now, in a time of crisis, we don't need to test drive, we need to make sure that we've got a reliable person in that chair, and that's John McCain," he said...[read the Foxnews.com article]

Q&A: Janet Huckabee With National Journal Linda Douglass

National Journal's Linda Douglass sat down with Janet Huckabee for "National Journal On Air." This is a transcript of their conversation. Linda Douglass: I want to welcome Janet Huckabee. She is the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who has been surging in all of the polls. Welcome, Mrs. Huckabee. Janet Huckabee: Thank you. Douglass: Well, speaking of surging in the polls, what has changed for you now as you see your husband suddenly shooting up in polls in Iowa and also in national polls? What's changed? Huckabee: Well, I think really the only thing that's changed for us is that it's a lot more exciting. Things are pumping, so to speak, and the amount of people that come to our events is a lot different than it was when we started 11 months ago. We're still working very hard, we still take nothing for granted, and we just keep out there meeting one person at a time...[read the National Journal article]

Absolutely, Mike all the way!

Rightous says:

To all those who believe Mike would change the laws of the land
to match his political beliefs, dont understand the process.

He couldn't change a single law, that would take congress to do.
I do however believe that his focus on relgion is a good thing.
There is a direct relation to violents in Schools and the removal
of school prayer. Check the stats for you self.

Tell people, to love each other as your self, not to kill,steal,
lie... has it's good points.

Mike also is the best VP choice, IMHO, because of his ability to
try and bring the Rep, party back to the right alittle. McCain
is at least a moderate, he needs a consverative on the ticket to
pull the south. No Republican has every won the White House without
carring the southern states.

Jim Ryan says:

John McCain and Mike Huckabee will bring back " We the people for the people "

Mike Huckabee has what it takes to be the greatest national leader since Abraham Lincoln; namely, the heart, the brains, the intestinal fortitude, and the vision.

Nope, I'm voting for one of the other guys!

velveteen says:

I'm from Arkansas, and I'd never vote for Huckabee. as far as I'm concerned, he hasn't done anything for us except take coke machines out of our schools. in school, you HAVE to take a PE class to get your credit, even if you play baseball, do soccer, run track, whatever. stupid.

Gobama!

Alban says:

Voting again for a Republican candidate to me seems like the height of insanity after these disastrous 8 years of the Bushs. Do you really want what they offer? More lies and corruption? More war? War with Iran? Mike might be a nice guy, the Democrats might not be much better, but change is good.

StacymomBiz says:

Anyone who wants to change the US constitution based on personal religious beliefs has no business making decisions for all of us, obviously! Has Tax change ideas were stolen directly from Ron Paul.

lasvegashomes says:

Nope, but I think everyone should get out and VOTE!

Lord_JR says:

I think Mike is a genuinely good guy with great ideas on taxation. However, I could not vote for someone who holds religion ahead of politics. Believing in God in good, but putting a two thousand year old text ahead of modern, scientific, rationale thought is not.

Clinton, Huckabee Ahead in Oklahoma Poll 

THE RACE: The presidential race for Republicans, Democrats in Oklahoma, which holds its presidential primary on February 5th.

Huckabee was favored in a head-to-head matchup with Clinton, 56 percent to 35 percent, in this heavily Republican state. Clinton also trailed McCain (61-31), Romney (51-30), and Giuliani (50-38). Edwards led against Romney (50-37), appeared slightly ahead of Giuliani (48-42) and was about even with Huckabee, but was 11 percentage points behind McCain. Oklahoma has not supported a Democrat in a presidential election since Lyndon Johnson in 1964...[read the AP News article]

"Hopefully we'll just shoot pheasants, not each other," the jovial former Arkansas governor, clad in a blaze-orange hunting vest, told reporters before heading off for the hunt on a farm about 30 miles (48 km) south of the Iowa capital Des Moines...[read the Reuters News article]

Huckabee Profile: Another Achiever From Hope, Arkansas 

But don't cross him, as Jim Guy Tucker found out.

Janet Huckabee | Mike Huckabee


(AP) Mike Huckabee's first day as Arkansas governor is remembered most for the Four Hour Crisis. Five minutes before Huckabee was to be sworn in, the disgraced outgoing governor, Jim Guy Tucker, tried to wriggle out of his promise to resign. For the next few hours, the state flirted with a constitutional crisis as Lt. Gov. Huckabee and Tucker, the governor who had been convicted of two felonies in the Whitewater investigation, jockeyed for control, and the people of Arkansas watched in horror. Huckabee, a Republican, stood tough; he went on statewide television and threatened to call a special legislative session to have the Democratic governor impeached. Behind the scenes, he worked with Democratic legislators to coax Tucker to quit. An anxious afternoon ended when Tucker scribbled a note of resignation, salve for what Huckabee had described as an "open, oozing sore."...[read the CBS News article]

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) -- Mike Huckabee has capitalized on his Iowa surge and roared to the front of the Republican pack in South Carolina, largely on the strength of social conservatives frustrated with the crop of candidates. "We've been on the stove simmering for about 11 months," Huckabee said at a Saturday rally in Greenville. "Somehow in the last two weeks, the lid blew off and the pot started boiling." A month ago, Huckabee was fifth in South Carolina polls. Now, according to a new Mason-Dixon poll conducted in the state, Huckabee comes in at 20 percent, putting him in first place with a narrow lead over former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has 17 percent...[read the CNN News article]

"It's probably a little distracting for you," he told a crowd of 400 insurance workers. "But it is kind of nice." A few months ago, Huckabee was a campaign afterthought, a friendly guy with the funny-sounding name. Today he's the upstart who could transform former Massachusetts Gov.

Mike Huckabee Opts Not to Talk About Mitt Romney's Mormon Faith 

Mike Huckabee's roots as a Southern Baptist preacher are coming to the fore in his now-blooming campaign for president, but he's not taking the bait when asked how he feels about rival Mitt Romney's Mormon faith.

Mitt Romney


Huckabee on Tuesday sidestepped the question about what he thinks of the opinion held by some Christian evangelicals that Mormonism is a cult. "I am just not going to go into evaluating other people's doctrines and faiths. I think that is absolutely not a role for a president," the former Arkansas governor said.


Huckabee said that if he were running to be "president of a theological school," then his views on Mormonism would be relevant — "but to be the president of the United States I don't know that that is going to be the most important issue that I will be facing when I am sworn in."...[read the FOX News article]

At the same time, he decried those who would remove from public life "any acknowledgment of God," and he said that "during the holiday season, nativity scenes and menorahs should be welcome in our public places."...[read the ABC News article]

    You really did a superb job on this lens and covered so much information about Mike Huckabee. I thoroughly enjoy his show and maybe we will see him in the races again one day. I hope so.
