If Mike Huckabee runs for President, he is obviously the odds-on favorite to earn The Family Leader’s endorsement. Vander Plaats was Huckabee’s state chair for the 2008 campaign. The former Arkansas governor’s last two visits to Iowa were to raise money for the IFPC. It is hard to imagine the group endorsing anyone instead of Huckabee.
Some attendees have privately suggested that Vander Plaats’ current tour is a thinly veiled campaign on behalf of Huckabee. Indeed, Vander Plaats mentions Huckabee at almost every stop. The events are frequently held in the same Pizza Ranch locations that Huckabee and BVP toured in 2007. Additionally, Vander Plaats was quoted recently saying he advised Huckabee not to begin his campaign until August. That seems like an awfully late start. However, with Vander Plaats and The Family Leader already laying the grassroots groundwork, it would make things much easier for Huckabee to step into the race late and still walk away with a victory.

If Huck runs, Iowa would be his again.
NO I cannot stand him
What then is wrong with Iowa?
We need to puncture these trial balloons ASAP people...
Mitt AND Huck have 0% chance of winning - all they can do is divide our party and our money
Romney/Jindal 2012 I know you dont like Romney...healthcare...but he will get around that issue, because it was a state issue (just saying)....my hope is he stops the feet shuffle like a senile person when you talk...too hard...sorry..dang i shoot my mouth off too much...crush...there i go again...crush? oopsie
Huckabee recently moved to South Walton County, FL. I have noticed he has been doing a bit of speaking at small local events.
Not sure why. Maybe he just likes to speak to people.
I agree. It will be almost impossible to beat Huckabee in Iowa. And if he wins there, he has a strong chance of taking South Carolina, too. If that happens, he is pretty much on his way to the nomination.
He’ll win Iowa, and then we’ll see if the GOP voters once again want a big spending social conservative of the Bush mold as their nominee. If they do, I’m sitting this one out. Huckabee as president would be worse than Obama as president in the sense that he’d lose the Republican Congress.
Huckabee would be just as bad as Romney!
(and he is a fake Christian IMO.)
Pat Robertson won Iowa in '88.
Just sayin'
Florida sealed the McCain victory.
Can we keep the early primaries away from the retarded States?
Nov 2012:
Obama 52% Huckabee 48%
Obama 51% Romney 49%
If there is no third party...
Huckabee has always been available as a guest speaker even when he was Gov.
Do you want a list?
TS
Dittos. No Huck.
Sorry, but his guy AIN’T got a hell of a prayer against Obozo...I say it like it is...NOT A CHANCE! We need someone fresh, a new face....NOT a has been!!

A strong campaign to inform voters about his soft-headed release of killers back to the streets should help.
