A Letter To John McCain

I LOVE this picture of Mike and his wife Janet in Texas this past week.


You didn't think I forgot about the campaign did ya?? I know one thing, this past week has been the slowest week of my life not having all those pressuring phone calls to make by a deadline over the week-end. I don't know what I'll do once this campaign is over!!! Go through major Huckabee withdrawal I assume. Nah, I'll be involved with the great Gov. Huckabee in some mighty way. God will make sure of that. Anyhoot, thought I'd pass this along. It's only fair that we have a debate in the Republican party. Texas polls are climbing up in our favor!!

My Letter To John McCain

Dear Senator McCain:
It's been my pleasure sharing the stage with you this past year, as we have worked to promote our ideas to lead this county. I have the deepest respect for you as a person, politician, and an American hero – and I appreciate the way you have run such an issue-based, positive campaign.

Now that the race for the Republican nomination is down to just the two of us, I believe this is the time for a real discussion about our vision for the future of this great country. I encourage you to join me in a Lincoln Douglas-style debate so that voters can better understand our views on critical issues such as health care, education, energy independence, terrorism and national security.

Our Democratic counterparts, Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, have had recent opportunities to underscore the differences in their positions. It seems only fitting to me that Republican primary voters are offered the same.

I look forward to working with your staff to schedule this as soon as possible. I would suggest we set the debate before the March Fourth Primaries. It is my hope that one of the TV networks would offer to sponsor such an event.
Senator, let's lead by example and get the ball rolling. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this idea and debating you in front of the American people.
Sincerely,

Mike Huckabee
Former Governor of Arkansas (1996-2007)
