If Only Huckabee Had Money

• Even though he isn't counted in the upper tier of most lists, Mike Huckabee has managed to generate more buzz for his presidential candidacy than other second-tier candidates.

Tomorrow there will be another Bloggers Call with Mike Huckabee. It will take place a few hours after I come from work. So I may or may not be asleep. If I do partake I will let y'all know about the call.
