Mike Huckabee plans 43-stop national book tour

Mike Huckabee, the ordained minister turned presidential hopeful, will begin a nationwide book tour on Saturday near his home on Florida’s panhandle. But his aides say the real kick-off for the tour promoting his latest title, “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy,” will be in (where else?) Iowa.

Huckabee will be barnstorming churches and bookstores over the next three weeks, with stops scheduled in 43 cities in 14 states. Officially, Huckabee is traveling the country to sell and sign books. But the former Arkansas governor and Fox News Channel personality also will be test-driving a campaign message that he hopes might galvanize Republican primary voters and launch him into the White House.

WaPo pushes Huckabee’s book tour and candidacy to cut into Cruz's support.

Much of Santorum’s 2012 staff was Huckabee’s in 2008. Currently, the campaign staff is leaning toward Huckabee. Also the Duggar family, who campaigned for Santorum in 2012, loves Huckabee.

I read your post fast and thought you wrote Benny Hill. Huckleberry would have a better chance if he went that route!

I’ve come to conclusion that it must be highly profitable to run for POTUS.

Why else would these perpetual losers do it?

You’re a fraud, Huckster. We remember your support of Lamar Alexander. Go away!

Can’t stand Huckabee, he’s the establishment Trojan horse to make a hole for Jeb.
