Founder of Minuteman Project Jim Gilchrist, endorsed Huckabee today

This is a big news, I believe, because some are challenging how strong Mike would be on illegal immigration. The Minuteman Project is a movement to help secure our borders and this endorsement speaks volumes about the credibility of Mike Huckabee's position on illegal immigration and border enforcement, in particular.

If you haven't seen it already, Mike released his immigration plan recently:

Mitt Romney endorsed Huckabee in 2005

I agree with what Mitt said in 2005, Mike Huckabee would make a fine president! :-)

The Arkansas News Bureau reported in August 2005 that Romney said Huckabee would have the support of many Massachusetts Republicans if the Arkansan were to run for president in 2008.

While at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion for a meeting about health care, Romney demurred when asked whether a presidential race was in his future but had nice things to say about his host.

“Who knows what the future will hold?” Romney said in 2005. “Most likely, we’ll all stay as governors or find other offices, but we need to make sure that we have a strong person who can take the baton from President Bush, and Gov. Huckabee is certainly one of those individuals. He'd make a fine president.”
