I know my cousins are going to hate this… (found out today they’re not fans of my political blogging) but I had to share Mike Huckabee’s<\/a><\/strong> first TV ad. It’s Chuck Norris<\/strong> approved.<\/p>\n

From the campaign:<\/p>\n

During an exclusive interview on Fox News Sunday this morning, former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee<\/strong> unveiled a new television ad featuring actor Chuck Norris that will begin airing in Iowa<\/strong> on Monday, November 19.<\/p>\n

The 60-second TV ad, called ‘Chuck Norris Approved<\/strong>,” features Norris’ endorsement of Huckabee as a “principled, authentic conservative.” The ad also discusses Huckabee’s support for the Fair Tax<\/strong>, securing the border, and the 2nd amendment.<\/p>\n

“This is a light-hearted ad which draws attention to important issues. We want to show that running for President is serious business but a person can have fun doing it. I appreciate Chuck Norris’ endorsement and his participation in the ad, which was designed to spotlight some key issues and to draw interested voters to our website,” said Huckabee. <\/p>\n

And more from the Governor:<\/p>\n

The Chuck Norris ad is doing exactly what I said I would hope it would do when I appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace–create some interest<\/strong>, give people a Thanksgiving week break from the nasty and savage ads that have been run by other campaigns, and drive people to our website<\/strong> to get the FULL story of the Huckabee campaign. It is working! Fox and even other networks have been running the ad and talking about it all day; website traffic is fantastic, and it is being called “the best ad of the campaign so far.<\/strong>” (We hope they will say that about the next one we’ll run next week that starts getting serious about the issues.)<\/p>\n

I realize some of you don’t think the ad is your cup of tea–I respect that–but be comforted in that we’re stirring things up and bringing people our way. Just keep praying that God will take little and make it much! – Mike Huckabee<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
