Huckabee: Don't worry FL, I'm coming

OCTOBER 22, 2007

How come Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee didn't have more of a presence at Presidency IV, you ask? "A hundred thousand bucks so I could make a 10-minute speech (Saturday)? That wouldn't be a good investment on my part...It's not that we don't want to be here, but we know before we get to Mickey Mouse land we've got to get through Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. I want to be wearing those mouse ears in Florida come election time, but I've got some prerequisites before I get here."
