Mike Huckabee

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is one of the 9 GOP candidates
for President. Huckabee says many mistakes have been made in Iraq – but
that the President's troop increase must be given a chance, and disapproves with efforts in Congress to draw down troops. Since he is consistent on his Iraq war policy, Washington Editor Leigh Ann Caldwell spoke with Huckabee about other pressing issues: civil liberties, health care and excusing corporations from paying US taxes.

Former US Senator Mike Gravel is a little-known politician from Alaska with big aspirations – to win the Democratic nomination for President.
He doesn't have the star power or the money-raising operations of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. But he does have some ideas that differentiate him from the rest of the field.
