I would like to suggest Mike Huckabee for President of the United States.

A true conservative, he has steadfastly held to the core principles of the Republican party during his political career. Unlike other candidates, Mike Huckabee's stance on the bedrock conservative values of this party are exactly in line with the tradtional Republican mainstream.

As governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007, he introduced initiatives in health care, tax reform, school accountability and fiscal responsibility that earned him the honor as one of the top 5 governors in the country from Time Magazine in 2005. When he left office in 2007, the state of Arkansas had a budget surplus of nearly $800 million. That sort of fiscal responsibility is sorely needed in Washington.

Important to mention is that Mike Huckabee was a Republican governor of a Democratic state. He was able to implement his innovative ideas with the cooperation of the opposing party. This is an important quality -- the ability to form consensus and partnership with the Democrats for the greater good. Again, something that is dearly needed in the devisive Congress in Washington.

Critics have said that Mike Huckabee is a second tier candidate, one who is unelectable. But there are many reports that show he won the Iowa debate. And there certainly is precedent for an intellegent, articulate, charasmatic governor from Arkansas ascending to the White House.

This time, let's make it a Republican.
