From the AP:
Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee of Arkansas said Friday his fellow Republicans would be making a devastating mistake in the race for the White House if they ignore minorities, unions and other traditionally Democratic groups.
While the proliferation of debates has cut into the time candidates have to campaign and raise funds, Huckabee said he has reached out to the AARP, the National Education Association and other groups that tend to vote Democratic.
“I want to be the president of the United States, not just the president of the Republican Party,” Mike Huckabee said. “I’m still a conservative and I still believe in lower taxes and less government. I’m pro-life and I’m pro-family, but it doesn’t mean that I’m not going to listen … and it doesn’t mean I’m not going to govern with a view to being a president to everybody.”
