Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas, is surging in Iowa and other polls, and could become the GOP Presidential candidate. A conservative Baptist minister, Huckabee is gaining support among the Christian Right, though some are debating whether he could beat Hillary Clinton and are considering voting for Giuliani or Romney. But as more Republicans learn about Huckabee, he will gain popularity and could win the nomination, or at least be number 2 on the GOP ticket. Unlike Romney or Giuliani, Huckabee is a true conservative, especially on social issues like abortion and gay rights. Huckabee could win some moderate support because of his more "compassionate" views on immigration and somewhat populist economic views concerning the poor. Since he is from Arkansas, he has a long history dealing with the Clintons and could be a nightmare for Hillary Clinton. But there is a lot the public doesn't know about Huckabee yet and it remains to be seen whether he can win popular support in the general election. Here's two articles everyone should read to learn the TRUTH about Huckabee:
