The Mike Huckabee 2008 presidential campaign began on January 28, 2007, when former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for President of the United States for the 2008 election. Huckabee ultimately ended his bid for the nomination after losing the Texas Republican primary on March 4, 2008.[1]
Huckabee's campaign began with a first-quarter fundraising total lower than many of the front-running Republican candidates, raising $544,880.[2] Huckabee said that he found it difficult to move forward in a race "ruled by candidates with the biggest names".[3] Nonetheless, Huckabee placed second in the August 11 Iowa Straw Poll with 18.1 percent.[4] He came in second at the onsite polling of the Family Research Council Values Voters Summit on October 21, 2007, with 28% of the vote, and garnered a celebrity endorsement from actor Chuck Norris.[5][6]
In December 2007, Huckabee began challenging other candidates for first place in national polls among Republicans. On January 3, 2008, Huckabee won the Iowa Republican Caucuses with 34% of the electorate.[7] On Super Tuesday, Huckabee won an additional six states, including most of the Deep South.[8] After losing the Texas primary in March, however, Huckabee officially ended his campaign and conceded the race to U.S. senator John McCain.[9]
