Huckabee Wins W.V.!!!

conservative in values/moderate politics

Lived in Arkansas the last five years of Huckabee's governorship. Let me tell you first hand what he did from a state residents view, not something researched or heard somewhere:
1) raised taxes, 2) voted against repealing the grocery tax, 3)lengthened the school day/year,
4) mandated BMI testing in all public schools (violation of children's privacy and a waste of time, we alread know our kids are fat in this country, now do something about it, don't spend my money like this!!!).

just look at Arkansas

If you think Huckabee can run the United States of America... just look at Arkansas. Toyota was going to move a plant there... many top jobs would have come to Arkansas. They pulled out because they stated the people didn't have the work ethic they needed or the smarts. Where was Governor Huckabee to save those jobs? Look at the school system, there are more kids in private schools than public because of the system in Arkansas. Hillary Clinton is running on a record of fixing the schools in Arkansas? The only thing that's done anything for the schools in Arkansas was the No Child Left Behind Act. My third grader hadn't been taught past her 3's in multiplication by the end of the year. Now? The kids are being taught that because there the federal government implimented something that would force our states to be accountable for such failures. I know Huckabee, he's a bigot toward other Christians other than Baptists, and he led a failing state in jobs and education.
