Mike Huckabee stopped at the GOP Headquarters to speak with about 40 people on Saturday afternoon. Here is a story on the event from The Messenger. There are photos taken by the paper here.
Huckabee is the former governor of Arkansas, originally from the town Hope. That, you'll remember, is the same place Bill Clinton is from. Huckabee brought Bob Vander Plaats with him. Vander Plaats was the Lieutenant Governor nominee last year, and is currently Huckabee's state chair.
Huckabee ran a little late (it's a rare politician who doesn't), and apologized for his tardiness. He mentioned that he was speeding to get over here and luckily the state patrol wasn't on the road. An audience member shouted "that's because he's in here" (which was true, though he was off duty). Huckabee's face blanked out briefly, the quickly replied that he wasn't driving and he didn't even know what vehicle he was in.
Huckabee touched on several topics, including the Fair Tax, changes needed in the health care system, and foreign policy. The attendees seemed impressed with the former governor and what he had to say.
Huckabee asked everyone to come to the Iowa Straw Poll on August 11th, and support him. He promised that at his tent, it would be 68 degrees with no humidity. If you're interested in attending the straw poll with Gov. Huckabee, contact his campaign, it looks like you can use this page to sign up.
