Huckabee Takes a Break and Heads to Caymens

It appears that Mike Huckabee is really getting down to grassroots and appealing to his base, by leaving Wisconsin over the weekend and making his way to the Caymen Islands. It's tough for me to figure out how this fits into a Congressional politics class, since Huckabee has never been in Congress... He sites that unlike his rival candidates, he has never recieved a taxpayer based salary that pads the pockets of McCain, Obama, and Clinton. Maybe Congress should look into having publicly funded campagins as they have in Europe... so that sending Congressional outsiders, like Huckabee, overseas can be avoided...?

I'm not really serious with my last sentence...

So you don't think having publicly funded campaigns is a good idea?

People who do not agree with the candidate's position should not have to pay to have that message spread. Those that support a candidates position can give money, and to convince others to do the same.
