The former Republican Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, has
announced that he will form a presidential exploratory committee on Monday. Perhaps, best known for his dramatic weight loss (greater than 100 lbs), beating Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack (D) in the Little Rock Marathon by over 50 minutes, and a funny appearance on The Daily Show, Huckabee is definitely a Conservative, who opposes abortion rights and gay marriage. However, he also seems like a genuinely nice guy. Well, he obviously has no chance in '08 (unless Vilsack ends up being the Dem. candidate, of course).
What do John McCain and I have in common? Well, of course, we're both listening to The Beach Boys - Sounds of Summer - Greatest Hits. The AP wanted to find out what the candidates are listening to lately. Most cerebral? Rudy Giuliani is listening to Verdi's Macbeth. Most predictable? Sam Brownback is listening to Christian artist Michael W. Smith. Most "huh-wuh"? Mike Huckabee is listening to Evanescence.
