Mike Huckabee’s Iowa Blitz

On February 24th Governor Mike Huckabee will be returning to Iowa in order to support his endorsed candidate for Iowa Governor, Bob Vander Plaats.  This is the second time Huckabee has been in the state to support Vander Plaats and it won’t be his last.  He has committed a good portion of 2010 to stump for his Huck PAC candidates, some of who are in contested primaries against establishment candidates such as Bob and also Marco Rubio who is fighting Charlie Crist for the US Senate nomination in Florida.

Since winning the 2008 Iowa Caucuses Governor Huckabee has had two books hit the New York Times best seller list, hosts the number one weekend news show on cable, and has the fastest growing radio show of the past decade.  With all of this going on he still has committed himself to helping conservative candidates in the 2010 elections.  On the 24th he will be speaking at a high dollar fundraiser luncheon for Vander Plaats and then headlining a free rally for him in the evening.  Huckabee’s national grassroots team, Team Huck, is currently making phone calls to promote this event to Iowans. 

While in Iowa for Vander Plaats, Huckabee will also be lending a hand to Iowa Family Policy Center’s political arm.  The Iowa Family PAC will be hosting an event in Des Moines on the 24th in between the two Vander Plaats events and the Governor will be the keynote speaker.  This organization will be raising funds to locate and elect pro-family candidates while also working tirelessly on getting a Marriage Amendment passed.  Huckabee has always been an outspoken supporter of traditional marriage and successfully passed a Marriage Amendment with a Democratic legislature as Governor of Arkansas.

Details of all of the Mike Huckabee events on the 24th are provided below.  You will also be able to watch the rally live on Bob Vander Plaats’ new website that was just launched.  Huck-tastic.

  1. So Huckabee won the Iowa caucus but got skunked in the CPAC straw poll. Ron Paul got skunked in Iowa but won the CPAC straw poll. Then the crowd booed when his victory was announced.

    Does it make your head spin?

    • Actually, Jerry, it does make my head spin. It would be so much easier to be in your party. You are supposed to stand for nothing.

  2. I see your head is spinning alright. You already have forgotten which is the Party of No—the one that “stands for nothing.”

  3. Jerry – you are quite entertaining. Thanks for your posts at the site.

    I attended the Iowa Family Policy Center PAC event in D.M.

    Among those voters sitting at my table were a Drake college student and an 82 year old woman who used her walker over the ice to even get in to the building. The lady was attending specifically to learn more about BVP. While she was a Romney supporter she very much enjoyed hearing and seeing Mike Huckabee.

    It was great to see so many people of all ages attending an afternoon event on a work day. Huckabee had the media laughing and the standing ovation for Mike was awesome, as well.

    The party of “No” to the monster of all heath care plans suits me just fine. Sandwiched between a college student and the 80 year old crowd, I find I am in very good company.

    Democrats are the party of NO listening – content to ram thru what they think is best for the rest of us.

    NO thanks, Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Company.

    Huckabee, BVP and the other speakers were passionate about their ideas for Iowa. It was a great day to be in the crowd and to hear the enthusiasm and prayers for America.
