Dan Bartlett, former counsel to President Bush, recently remarked that you have "obvious problems" as a candidate. These "problems" were your last name, Huckabee, which he apparently thought was flawed in some way, and the fact that you're from Hope, Ark. What is your response?
My last name has never opened doors for me because it's not the name of a prominent, wealthy or heralded political family. But the Bible says that "a GOOD name is more to be desired than great riches." And my name represents the sacrifice, hard work, and old fashioned discipline that my Dad gave me when he didn't have the education, wealth or position to give me anything else. It's a name I wear proudly—not just for myself, but all those who like me have fought their way beyond poverty to live and love the American dream.

Mike ought to withdraw from the race and endorse Ron Paul. Huck is a tax hound as his records shows. Ron Paul is the only sane choice for president.

Sir, I was not aware of this information about Gov. Huckabee. I used to live in Arkansas and I have never heard about what you have stated here. Please, if you don't mind (I'm not trying to be nosy), give more information. If such a thing is true, then it certainly changes my view of him. If such a thing is true, it would definately disqualify him from being President, from my perspective. Thanks.
