DL GOP Fantasy Pool – Huckabee to announce today
Michael Dale “Mike” Huckabee (born August 24, 1955) is an American politician who did a plausible imitation of a sane person while serving as the 44th Governor of Arkansas (1996–2007). He was a candidate in the 2008 United States Republican presidential primaries, winning the 2008 Iowa Republican caucuses by throwing his reputation as a sane person under the bus and driving the bus over that reputation 30 to 40 times.
Rick Perry, it seems, is going to announce tomorrow.
Here are the revised standings:
