Welcome to my Mike Huckabee for President blog!



Welcome to the unofficial Mike Huckabee for President blog site. It is dedicated to the election of my Governor as President in 2008. For the last 10 years, Governor Huckabee has reigned over an unprecedented era of growth in our state. He has maintained honor and integrity serving the people of Arkansas with steadfastness and conviction. Governor Huckabee is a strong conservative, yet is much more pragmatic than ideological. He has gotten results, not just made empty promises. As a former minister, he epitomizes the essence of "compassionate conservatism," helping to create ARKids First, a health care program dedicated to serving those who are not poor enough to be on Medicaid, yet not wealthy enough for private insurance. As he prepares to leave office, he is leaving Arkansas with the largest surplus the state has ever had, totaling near $900 million. When he took office, Arkansas' highways were rated the worst in the nation; now they are ranked as the most improved in the nation. I have had the wonderful privilege of meeting Governor Huckabee many, many times and know that he is a man of the highest character who cares about all Arkansans and all Americans. I believe he has just the right combination of common sense, charisma, and proven leadership to be our next President.

I invite you to check back often for updates, and I invite you to post your thoughts on his potential candidacy as well as weighing the pros and cons of him and other possible Republican nominees.
