Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is slated to announce Tuesday that he will make a second bid for the Republican nomination.
The challenges are formidable for the man who won the 2008 Iowa caucuses. In that earlier race, Huckabee, 59, a former Baptist preacher, struggled to expand his reach beyond evangelical voters, and ran out of money in subsequent contests.
Huckabee is a gifted communicator. Polls have consistently shown that he has relatively high name recognition and popularity among Republicans. Early this year, he quit his television show on Fox News, so that he could more deeply explore the possibility of another run.
This time, his challenge will be finding a way to break through in a field that is likely to include a dozen or more credible, well-financed contenders. Among them are relatively fresh faces, such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who are challenging him for the financial and political support of conservative Christians.
On the stump, he has pointed to his Arkansas history as evidence that he has what it takes to run against Hillary Rodham Clinton, the expected Democratic nominee.
Indeed, Huckabee's career has been intertwined with that of the Clinton family for more than two decades.

“Huckabee’s career has been intertwined with that of the Clinton family for more than two decades.”
We’re talkin’ series, stune yer peeto jock itch.
Pleeeeeease, Baptists...don’t vote for this huckster. We have no business crying about blacks staying on the dem plantation when Christians do the same.
Huck, just no. Stop! Just stop! Nobodies buying, bud.
I was really hoping he would stay out of this. It just muddies the waters for the real contenders like Ted Cruz.
Nice site. Thanks for posting.
On the other hand, maybe he’ll take votes away from Bushy Boy and Marco Amnesty, easing the way for Cruz.
Beck is taking about it now. He see's him as a spoiler as he takes voters away from Rubio and Cruz and fubars the both of them and Rove is their at his annoucement....
Hmmm... 08' all over again, let a RINO run right up the middle, Ditto that for Ben Carson.
I'd wish Huckabee, Santorum and Carson and the common sense to stay home...
You’re welcome.
Nice guy and all but not Presidential timber. Too squishy on crime and punishment and would also be a weak CINC. Is he in it to burnish his punditry or just for the buffet?
Like
I attribute it to the PTB seeking to dilute the conservative vote and keep Cruz from the nomination.
Spread them over three or four candidate so that the Jebster gets in to continue the royal line.
But what do I know?
