Mike Huckabee and Sen. John McCain shared the stage in Iowa last week and discussed AARP matters, civilly.
Amazing. Folks on the ABC News are talking up a Huckabee/McCain ticket for 2008. Not a bad idea, especially now that Sam Brownback has endorsed McCain. Of course I might be a bigger fan of a Huckabee/J.C. Watts ticket, but we’ll see what happens when the time comes. Read more (and the comments of course) at blogs.abcnews.com

Huckabee has best week ever
NPR reports that Mike Huckabee had the best week ever:
Mike Huckabee enjoys the best week of his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination: a bump in poll numbers in Iowa and a big spike in online fundraising.
Listen to the story online, including information on Huckabee’s busy weekend in Iowa.
Saltsman talks with NPR
John “Chip” Saltsman, campaign manager for presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, says the campaign is building on a second-place finish in the Iowa straw poll and has made inroads with conservative groups, who are beginning to see Huckabee as a viable candidate.
Saltsman talked with NPR’s Michele Norris.

First night in Iowa
We’re in Iowa tonight hanging out at the Liquid Lounge in downtown Ottumwa. We just finished our show for the youth hangout at a neighboring church.
I think 70-80 people showed up and we had seven or eight decisions tonight.
The show was amazing and after they figured out what was going on, the audience stayed hot most of the night.
Phil’s on injured reserve with a doctor’s note after last night’s injury. Chris said Phil’s a big pansie but he’s still got a beauty of a shiner and the doctor taped up his eye instead of stiches.
I’ll try and get a photo posted by Monday, if not before.
We have another show planned here tomorrow night and then we’ll be heading back to Dallas before Rob and I fly to Nigeria on Tuesday.
And the band just started rocking out here. Missed the name, but the owners said they’re a local act.
Prayer requests:
Continued safety for the wrestlers and all involved in our shows. Continued fast healing for Phil. Quick healing of bumps and bruises and just general soreness that comes from wrestling and long rides in a van. Safety in travel from Iowa to Texas on Saturday night and Sunday.
God bless – He makes all things beautiful in His time.
