I think anyone considering voting for Huckabee should read this to get the know the real Huckabee.
The Club for Growth provides a lot of specifics of Huckabee's record.
The club for growth has no credibility.
As long as he's not a 'compassionate conservative.'

I see the CFG says nothing about the Huckster’s most glaring fault—his enthusiastic support for illegal immigration. that’s because they love it too.
In January when Governor Huckabee announced he was forming an exploratory committee, the CFG released a white paper on his tenure in Arkansas. Governor Huckabee was the first candidate scrutinized even though he entered the race after Sen. McCain, Mayor Giuliani, Sen. Brownback, and Governor Romney.
What was the reason the CFG thought he was worthy of moving to the head of the line? The tax burden during his time in Arkansas was better than under Mitt Romney’s in Massachusetts. Likewise, his record on spending was better than Mayor Giuliani, who increased spending more than under his Democratic predecessor. So why was Governor Huckabee singled out as inconsistently conservative?
The reason is that one of the CFG’s biggest donors and organization officials is a longtime political rival of Governor Huckabee.
In August the Club for Growth began running attack ads in Iowa on Governor Mike Huckabee. Salon.com found after checking disclosures through the IRS that the ads had been paid for by “a Little Rock neighbor and political rival of Huckabee’s named Jackson T. “Steve” Stephens Jr.” Not only did Stephens provide the $125,000 to Club for Growth.net, he serves as the chairman, along with his Arkansas business associate, Gary Faulkner. Stephens has contributed over $1 million to CFG
