Huckabee's "Mitts"

A few of the first twenty-five signers of the No Mitt for VP petition have someone in common:

Grace Tate

Mark West

Micah Lankford

Marion and Gwen Eddy

Mark Johnson

Beth Sheets

Regina Brown

Brenda D. Turner

James West

Ted Baehr

Ann E. Ritterbush

Regarding a related ad, Muckety notes "The political action committee, Government Is Not God, has paid for an advertisement warning GOP presumptive nominee John McCain not to select Mitt Romney as his Vice President for the 2008 election." Muckety then digs deeper:

A look at the political donations by the PAC via FEC watch at OpenSecrets.org shows that during the 2008 election cycle they gave money to three presidential candidates who are no longer in the race…

$3,500 to Mike Huckabee
$1,500 to Tom Tancredo
$1,000 to Sam Brownback
There were no contributions to McCain or Romney on the report which was last update 12/31/2007. Maybe they should donate some money to McCain’s campaign before threatening to not support him.
Huckabee always did run a low budget campaign.
