Presidential Runner Mike Huckabee (Rebroadcast)
photo

In the homestretch to Iowa and New Hampshire, former Arkansas governor and Baptist preacher Mike Huckabee has been the stunning wild card in the GOP pack. He’s spent next to nothing, turned his back on a generation of angry conservatism, and is now in striking distance of big wins in the Republican presidential primaries.

Here at On Point, we talked with Huckabee last summer, before he leapt into the GOP’s front rank. He told us a lot that still resonates.

This hour from the On Point archives: in the home stretch to the first votes of Election ‘08, a conversation with the other man from Hope — Mike Huckabee.

-Tom Ashbrook

Guest:

Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas and Republican presidential candidate
