The Exciting Huckabee Encounter - Part 1

Anna is interviewed by a News Channel 5 reporter!

The group was just the right size. Everyone had the opportunity to shake hands with Gov. Huckabee, talk to him, and get his autograph.

It was amazing and wonderful to be able to meet Gov. Huckabee!! What impressed us the most about him was how he was so genuine, so sincere, so caring, and so real! He expressed heartfelt gratitude and thanks to each supporter he spoke with, sometimes more than once! It was evident that he was interested in the life of every person there -- from the way he talked to an expectant mother about her baby due next month, went out of his way to go over and shake hands with airport employees who directed the landing of his jet, and thanked people for having their picture taken with him! He was grateful and honored that everyone would come to see him!

We are more convinced than ever that Gov. Huckabee is the man to lead our country. It is so wonderful to imagine having a President who realizes that he is the servant of the people, not the ruler of the people!!

That is so awesome! I was going to come down there, but my baby is sick, so we stayed home. I am glad you all were able to meet him and get photos. Super Tuesday is coming and he will be getting my vote!
