Ooh pretty good. Is this the first sitting U.s.senator to endorse?

“Today, we are more than just a Nation adrift and off course, but we find that the very soul of America is under extreme duress. In order to set the ship back on course, we need someone who is more than a just political thinker, and who has only man-made political solutions. We need someone who genuinely fears God and loves people. I believe that person in this presidential race is Governor Mike Huckabee.”

We currently are number 3 in endorsements, right after Bush and Christie (counting only sitting governors, senators, representatives, weighted according to a point system)

Huckabee continues to piece together his 2008 caucus coalition.
Posted by Craig Robinson on October 21, 2015.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee continues to reconstruct the political coalition in Iowa that helped him win the 2008 Iowa Republican caucuses.

Two months ago Huckabee earned the endorsement of Terry Amann, an influential pastor in Central Iowa who played a key role in Huckabee’s previous presidential campaign. Today, Huckabee lands the endorsement of Barb Heki, another prominent grassroots conservative activists who has strong connections to the homeschool community.

“He has a pastor’s heart and a commander-in-chief’s know-how,” Heki says in a statement the Huckabee campaign will put out later today about her endorsement. “He’s fighting tooth-and-nail against Common Core and has the right solution to the ultimate problem in education: get rid of all federal involvement and put the families back in charge,” she added.

Heki has been a fixture on conservative campaigns in Iowa. She’s not only worked on the campaigns of Bob Vander Plaats, but also supported conservative causes like the successful effort in 2010 to remove three Iowa Supreme Court Justices through Iowa’s retention process following the Iowa Court’s unanimous decision in Varnum vs. Brien, where the court ruled that Iowa’s Defense of Marriage Act violated the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution.

Heki’s endorsement of Huckabee may not be all that surprising since she has previously supported him, but in a race where Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum are all competing for the support of influential conservative activists, Huckabee’s ability to keep someone like Heki in the fold is a good sign.

In 2008, Huckabee didn’t just squeak out a caucus victory in Iowa, he trounced Mitt Romney by nine points, besting him by almost 11,000 votes. People tend to forget the size and magnitude of Huckabee’s 2008 Iowa win. It’s Huckabee, not George W. Bush, Bob Dole, or George H. W. Bush, that is the biggest vote getter in the history of the Iowa caucuses. If Huckabee were able to get the same 40,841 votes in 2016 that he got in 2008, it would probably be good enough for a win.

The polls may not reflect it, but Huckabee has been one of the few candidates who has kept his head down and focused on his own business.Since announcing his candidacy on May 5th, Huckabee has held 85 separate Iowa events in 60 of the 99 counties across the state.  The Huckabee campaign has publicly announced 178 statewide Iowa leaders, including 77 county chairs.

It’s Iowa or bust for Mike Huckabee and with just a few weeks to go before the big Iowa Caucus, he’s trotting out some key endorsements from notable pro-family conservatives. The Brody File has the exclusive.

Among the group endorsing Huckabee are Dr. Tim LaHaye, minister and author of the New York Times best-selling Left Behind book series; Dr. Jim Garlow, Senior Pastor of SkyLine Church;” Art Ally, founder and president of Timothy Plan, America’s first pro-life and pro-family mutual fund company; Dr. Eric M. Wallace, President & Co-Founder of Freedom’s Journal Institute and Janet Folger Porter, Founder and President Faith2Action. It’s a solid list.

Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona has written a great endorsement of Gov. Huckabee:

WJ Exclusive: Conservative Arizona Rep. Trent Franks Just Announced His 2016 Pick
http://www.westernjournalism.com/wj-exclusive-conservative-arizona-rep-trent-franks-just-announced-his-2016-pick/

Under the feckless and dangerous leadership of President Barack Obama, both America and the world truly seem to be on fire. Voters trapped in the midst of those flames are running panicked in every direction. Even conservatives within the Republican Party whose history has been one of reasoned and logical determination seem disoriented.

If we are to save this Republic from the ravages of Barack Obama, and then pass it on intact to our children and future generations, it is vital that we conservatives discipline ourselves to restate and clarify in our minds our actual objective in this Presidential Primary.

Our vital objective is to nominate an articulate, competent candidate who has consistently and unequivocally demonstrated, from the very core of his or her soul, a steadfast belief and commitment to the conservative pillars of national security, family, free-market productivity, and the foundational principles of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence; and someone who will also prevail in the critical and rapidly approaching General election.

If we look past showmanship, distractions and political ambitions; and into the faces and hearts of each one of these candidates, we all know in our hearts that Mike Huckabee is the man in this race that fulfills that precise description to the letter.

Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota has endorsed Huckabee.

A conversation with Sen. Mike Rounds continues
By Jaci Conrad Pearson Black Hills Pioneer
Tuesday, January 12, 2016 11:30 am

Pioneer: Who would you like to see as the Republican candidate for president?

Rounds: “Mike Huckabee. I think Huckabee is still my guy. I think Mike would be a great president. I think he’s solid. I think he’s got the right temperament for it. He’s outside of Washington, yet, at the same time, he’s had experience as a governor. People know who he is. He’s been in the public eye long enough to know there aren’t skeletons there. Me, personally, I know him. And I think he makes the right decisions for the right reasons. So I’m still a Mike Huckabee fan.”
