Republican Mike Huckabee, a former Baptist pastor and unabashed culture warrior, enters the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday facing competition for the support of social conservatives who backed him in 2008.
The ex-governor of Arkansas, 59, became a national figure by staging an upset win in Iowa's kickoff nominating contest during his 2008 presidential bid.
This time around other Republicans with national recognition have emerged as rivals for the role of leading crusader on social issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage.
Polls show Huckabee's support among Republican voters is only in the single digits. Huckabee's expected announcement is at 11 am (EDT).
"I do think that this time he is going to have a lot more competition for the votes. I think that Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum are both really jockeying for that hardcore evangelical vote," said Sam Clovis, a social conservative activist in Iowa.
Cruz, a senator from Texas, declared his candidacy in March. Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, won Iowa in 2012....

Huck, what are you trying to prove? don’t go away mad, just go away. Or do something useful with your annoying preachy life, support Cruz. Play that bass guitar for a smarter younger and better man.
You babble things about women being slaves to their libido and you sound like a republican nightmare out of the 50’s.
Cruz is religious AND smart and knows what words to use without sounding like he’s a backwards 80 years old preacher.
What happened to the old dog?
He got replaced??
LOL.
Well, didn’t the one Huckabee son hang one of their dogs or a neighbor’s dog?
??
I never heard that, yikes’
I’m more libertarian than a lot of FReepers these days. And Huckabee HATES libertarians.
But, I like him.
I don’t think he’s going to return the USSA to freedom. But, I just like him. He’s a good man.
Just IMHO.
There’s an article at the Blaze about Huck vs. the Libertarians, but my computer freezes every time I try to go there to post it here.
Why? He is not a social conservative.
Heard it was at a camp or something. When he was governor, I guess. Huckabee fired the cop who investigated it, IIRC.
Yes, I think you’re right. Stray dog, and the Huckabee son at a camp. Hopefully, not a church camp.

Boy Scout camp. Wonder if the son has any plans to join the Islamists.... :p he has the throat slitting, stoning, and hanging technique of killing the innocent down pat.
Huckabee has to know that his entering the campaign helps Jeb. “We’re just pawns in their game”.
Thank you so much!
Be ashamed if the sanctimonious self righteous old dodger fell ill and had to drop out.
Does he really, in his head, think he has a chance.
Or am I so far to the north and east that I don’t understand the following he has?
That picture sums up my feelings for his candidacy.........
Here comes the split in the Conservative vote.
Notice how he doesn’t sound like a food nanny stater anymore now that he’s packed the pounds back on. Hypocrite.
I guess the Huckster will be a stalking horse for Jebbie this time around—trying to pull votes from Walker and Cruz.
