As a Mike Huckabee fan I have followed with interest his book signing tour. It was fun to find this article about Huckabee in Tennessee. It is great to know that people in other states also ‘like Mike’ are willing to stand in long lines in order to get a book signed. As someone who stood in an Iowa line waiting a turn to get my book signed, I can understand the thrill of just being there. Watching other happy people wait their turn was an added bonus to the wait.
Way to go Tennessee! Huckabee may have surprised the pundits but he did not surprise his believers in Iowa and Tennessee.
Here is a portion of The Tennessean article.
Hundreds of people waited in line Sunday to get the autograph of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee who is on a 56-city tour promoting his new book detailing his success as a dark horse in the Republican presidential primaries.
Huckabee signed copies of his seventh book, Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America, at Davis-Kidd Booksellers at The Mall at Green Hills.
It was Huckabee’s first time back in Tennessee since he carried the Volunteer State in the Republican primary in February, former national campaign manager Chip Saltsman said.
Surprising many pundits and even his own party, Huckabee garnered more than 4 million votes in the primaries and won eight states.
With his popularity surging after the race, getting his own television show and the whirlwind book tour, the question people continue to ask is whether Huckabee will run in 2012.
