Candidate Blogs: Huckabee

Mike Huckabee’s official blog features posts from an entity called “Team Huckabee,” Mike Huckabee himself, and Chip Saltzman (Huckabee’s campaign manager). Mike Huckabee posts inspirational letters about his campaign and statements about his credentials. Team Huckabee posts run the gamut from schedules of Mike Huckabee’s appearances to numerous youtube videos promoting Huckabee. Chip Saltzman’s posts are where all the business is at. He posts phone lists and asks people to make calls on behalf of Huckabee. Along the side of the page runs a long list of hundreds of links to alternative blogs that are also supporting Huckabee. These are often conservative or religious based, such as A Polichristian Point of view or Evangelical Outpost. Others, like Hillary v. Huckabee on Education, are clearly political. Other links just lead to really brainless myspace pages (Jackalope2day, Pete Moss Verbal Ramblings) that happen to mention that they like Mike.
