Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee took a different approach to a potential run for president, praising Mississippi governor Haley Barbour Monday.

In Jan. 2008, Huckabee signed a no amnesty pledge. He asked all of the other republican presidential candidates to sign it, and none of them did.

Hunter and Tancredo did not need to sign a pledge not to support amnesty; their history speaks for them.

Huckabee performed one of his flips, (or was it a flop) when he signed the pledge. Like many other politicians Huckabee has denied he is for amnesty, yet consistently supported a 'pathway to citizenship', state tuition breaks for children of illegal aliens, anchor baby citizenship, ...

I find it dificult to believe a politician who sees the light re amnesty just before election time.
