Here is an article about Mike Huckabee talking about why he is running and why he is the better choice than McThomRomIuliani and his fundraiser in Texarkana.
- (AP) Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee says talk among some conservative Christians to back a third-party candidate if the GOP nominates someone who supports abortion rights suggests that front-runners aren't connecting with the party's base. "I think it says about the media-anointed front-runners that there's some dissatisfaction...That's why I'm in the race," Huckabee told reporters before a private fundraiser Tuesday. "If you look at some of the people who maybe have a lot of money but their ideas don't resonate with the Republican base voters, so it's not surprising." Huckabee, a Southern Baptist minister, noted his opposition to abortion and said he doesn't think it's necessary for Christian evangelicals to threaten leaving the party. More than 40 Christian conservatives attended a meeting Saturday in Salt Lake City to discuss the possibility of supporting a third-party candidate. "I don't think it's necessary at all to be thinking about a third party. I think it's necessary to think about the people who have been out there on the track," Huckabee said. "The fact that a few people talk about a third party doesn't mean they're the rank and file. There's a lot of people who are quite satisfied with my candidacy within that group of evangelical and social conservatives."
