Former two-plus term governor of Arkansas.

Now, former candidate for President of the United States of America.
Mike Huckabee was the 44th governor of the state of Arkansas.
This page was created to report on his race to become the 44th president of the United States.
This page has been updated throughout Mike Huckabee's candidacy in the Republican presidential primary race. Mike Huckabee vowed to stay in the race, staying true to his supporters, until one single candidate received the required number of delegates to claim the win. Following the primaries of March 4, 2008, Senator John McCain topped that number and claimed the win, and Governor Huckabee dropped out.
Certainly Mike Huckabee has made a name for himself on the national scene and we can expect to hear from this fine man for some time.
In fact, Mike Huckabee has started a political action committee, the Huck PAC, which you can read about below. We will also keep many of the videos and other information about Huckabee from the campaign, those things that help reveal his character and beliefs.

From Hope to Higher Ground
Get to know Mike Huckabee
this is Mike Huckabee's take on America - and on himself.
From Hope to Higher Ground: 12 STEPS to Restoring America's Greatness
With the small but powerfully inspiring word "hope," nationally recognized leader and policy-maker Governor Mike Huckabee points out that progress for our country cannot happen with the continued bipartisan rift dividing it. He taps into the fundamental core of every American, confronting matters closest at hand with the call for a critical change in perspective and a clear plan of action that shows what we can become as a truly indivisible nation.
The governor presents 12 key things we need to STOP doing in order to make America stronger, speaking out on immigration, the jobmarket, health care, education, and taxes, and provides practical solutions that could bring our nation to higher ground.
Mike Huckabee - Author
From character to health and important social issues, Mike Huckabee writes about issues that affect us all.
Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork : A 12-Stop Program to End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle
"Governor Mike Huckabee has proven that self-discipline, diet, and exercise can lead to a happier, healthier lifestyle. I commend him for working to become fit and strong but, more importantly, for his efforts to provide an example for young people and adults alike." Bill Clinton, former President of the United States
Character IS the Issue: How People with Integrity Can Revolutionize America
How powerful is integrity? Powerful enough to put a Republican preacher in the governor's mansion in Arkansas.
Living Beyond Your Lifetime: How to be Intentional About the Legacy You Leave
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee expands on the "character is the issue" theme by exploring the legacy of character. Whether in politics, marriage, education, or even business, what matters most is what lasts beyond the immediate to the ultimate. The challenge for all who wish not only to have character but to live a life of integrity is to live for those things which will build a legacy that increases in value over time. What matters most is what lasts beyond the immediate to the future.
Character Makes a Difference: Where I'm From, Where I've Been, and What I Believe
How powerful is integrity? Just ask minister-turned-statesman, Mike Huckabee. As lieutenant governor of Arkansas in 1996, he was publicly cast between the ultimate rock and hard place when his boss, governor Jim Guy Tucker, refused to resign despite his felony convictions in the Whitewater scandal. Holding fast to the tenets of honor and faith, and his concern over what was best for the state's people, Huckabee led the impeachment charge against his superior before a televised audience. That same day, Tucker resigned, and Huckabee would serve as governor of Arkansas until 2007, winning many national honors along the way.

Chuck and Huck team up.
"I won't leave you in suspense. Though Giuliani might be savvy enough to lead people, Fred Thompson wise enough to wade through the tides of politics, McCain tough enough to fight terrorism and Romney business-minded enough to grow our economy, I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov.

- I had the opportunity to Meet and Chat with Mike, He is amazing. As for taxes, a consumption Tax is a FAIR Tax, and you are absolutely RIGHT! It reinstills the people with the Power. This Country was inhabited for Religious Believes but it was formed because of Taxation, Remember the "Boston Tea Party"? Do you remember why that took place? and what happened shortly after? The American Revolutionary War! Please check out my articles, I am just starting and it would mean a great deal to me... Thanks - Tim

- Thanks for the info! It's important to know the candidates and their stance on issues. I try to ignore party stereotypes, mantras, and labels assigned by the media and others. (not always easy to do!)
