Mike Huckabee on Glenn Beck's show on CNN with some very good stuff.
As the first governor with a concealed carry license.
Very strong second amendment stance. He hits the other points I personally feel are important, so I like him. I think they replay this show later. If you are interested at all might try to catch it, or at least tape the segment at 15 after the hour.
Never heard this kind of talk from any other candidate.

Take away the second first, and the first is gone in a second.
Huckabee got my support when they were remodeling the governor's mansion. I saw the interview he and his wife gave Jay Leno. Leno was obviously playing it for laughs, while Mrs. Huckabee tried to answer and take it seriously. Huckabee was just as joking as Leno and had a good laught about it.
In case anyone does not remember, what they were laughing about was the fact that the state rented a mobile home and put it on the mansions grounds for Huckabee to live in while the mansion was renovated. Now who said Arkansas was a state full of rednecks?
I like him, I really liked him when I lived in Arkansas. He is a great guy, but I don’t think he has the money to beat (to steal a line) Hillary “rotten� Clinton
I was born and raised in Arkansas, and lived in Texarkana while Rev. Huckabee pastored Beech Street Baptist Church, then became Lt. Governor, then Governor. I like Mike: he's a very nice, personable guy. But his penchant for top-down politics, where the state issues all sorts of mandates, is wrong for America.
One of his "health solutions" mandated that cash-strapped Arkansas school districts measure all students' "body mass index", and send home "BMI Report Cards". As if parents are unaware their children are overweight!
Under Gov. Huckabee, taxes soared as Little Rock took control of every aspect of life in a rural state. Gov. Huckabee presided over, and urged along, the state supreme court mandate that small school districts be consolidated. Do you want Austin to mandate what ISDs do?
If I wanted Mike Huckabee's brand of heavily centralized, heavily taxed big government, I'd have stayed in Arkansas. Heaven forbid that his policies gain national traction!
Again, for clarity, and for the record: I like Mike. I liked his sermons, courtesy of Channel 35 in Texarkana, and I have enjoyed his classic rock band ("Capital Offense") many times at the Hope Watermelon Festival.
Despite his pro-gun views, Mike Huckabee is a big-government Republican just like GWB and Ricky Perry. It's the worst of both worlds. Other than his pro-gun stance, he's indistinguishable from Mitt Romney, who believes in mandatory health insurance whether you need it or not.
All that "passionate conservatism" has a price tag. Who's going to foot the bill?
