* Huckabee has stated "that some anti-immigration Republicans are guilty of demagoguery and racism"[134] and he endorsed the use of foreign workers from Canada and Mexico for agricultural labor,[135] but also says the United States' number one priority should be to secure America's borders.[136] However, Huckabee supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants which would involve some form of amnesty.[137] He said of the border, "Police it, absolutely. Militarize it, no."[138] Huckabee supports increases in visas for skilled workers.[139]

* Huckabee supports the ongoing War in Iraq and the troop surge.[140]

* Huckabee opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, and civil unions. In an interview with GQ Magazine, Huckabee said, "There’s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived."[141]

* In 1992, Huckabee indicated that he was against homosexuals serving in the military, and did not believe that women should be allowed in combat.[142] When asked about the issues of homosexuals in the military during his presidential run, Huckabee said he would not change the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which prohibits openly gay personnel from serving. "...you don’t punish people for their attitudes," he said. "You punish them if their behavior creates a problem, and it’s already covered by the Uniform Code of Military Conduct."[143]

* Huckabee is against gun control.[144]

* Huckabee supports the death penalty.[145]

* Huckabee has voiced his support of creationism. He was quoted in July 2004 on Arkansans Ask, his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: "I think that students also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution but to the basis of those who believe in creationism." Huckabee also stated "I do not necessarily buy into the traditional Darwinian theory, personally."[146][147][148][149] In the Third GOP Debate in June 2007, Huckabee was asked by Tom Fahey whether he believed in evolution, and he responded, in part: "I believe there is a God who was active in the creation process. Now, how did he do it, and when did he do it, and how long did he take? I don’t honestly know, and I don’t think knowing that would make me a better or a worse president ... if anybody wants to believe that they are the descendants of a primate, they are certainly welcome to do it--I don't know how far they will march that back..."[150][151]

* Huckabee has expressed concern that Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a distraction from the Global War on Terror.[152] Previously, he stated, "[Guantanamo is] more symbolic than it is a substantive issue because people perceive of mistreatment when in fact there are extraordinary means being taken to make sure these detainees are being given really every consideration".[153]

* In a 1992 statement, Huckabee advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general population.[156] In 2007, Huckabee no longer advocates such an isolation, but he stands by his earlier view, saying that in 1992 "there was still a great deal of, I think, uncertainty about just how widespread AIDS was, how it could be transmitted. So we know more now than we did in 1992, all of us do -- hopefully."[157] However, by 1992 it was well known that HIV/AIDS could not be spread by casual contact.[158][156] In the same statement, Huckabee also opposed increasing federal funding for HIV/AIDS research and suggested that Hollywood celebrities should provide additional funds instead. Huckabee now supports additional funding for HIV/AIDS research.[156]

* In 1992, Huckabee said that "homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk."[156] In 2007, his view that homosexuality is sinful and not normal has not changed.[157]

* Huckabee has credited divine intervention with some of his political success.[159]

* In 2007, in the wake of the controversy of his ad attacking Mitt Romney, he explained that the mainstream media might be “filing a bad story” right now, and if the bloggers were relying on the same wireless system at the hotel, they might be “clogging up the lines” and preventing them from filing. "If that’s the case, thank you. You’re doing the Lord’s work.”[160]

Obama and Clinton ran for the democrats, Obama won, so Clinton is out.

He (obama) is running against the republican candidate who is Mike Huckabee.

I hope to fuck that racists don't keep Obama out, because otherwise we've got 4 years of someone who is very possibly even more stupid than Bush.

obama won't win unfortunately, huckabee appeals to the 'middle america' voter which makes up 90% of the voting population - who have no idea about the rest of the world.

Not strictly true...

"History also teaches that victory or defeat in Iowa are not always reliable predictors of the eventual national outcome. Natural campaigners like Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton both lost there before going on to be two-term presidents. So do not jump to too many conclusions too soon. The 2008 contest could still be the long-predicted contest between Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, not a match-up between Mr Obama and Mr Huckabee."
