Arkansas’s former governor, Mike Huckabee, announced yesterday morning on Meet the Press that he was running for the Republican nomination for president for the 2008 election. As I was watching him duck and weave Tim Russert’s question on my DVR late Sunday morning (about 10:45 a.m.), I started looking for his website announcing his intentions. Of course, he would have one up already, I thought, Hilary and Barak announced their candidacy on their website. So, I google Mike Huckabee thinking this should be easy (remembering that his campaign can’t control Google results).
- First link, Arkansas Governor’s website featuring Arkansas’ new democratic governor Mike Beebe.
- Second link, Wikipedia’s Mike Huckabee entry.
- Third link, a blog promoting Mike Huckabee’s candidacy telling everyone that he was right two years ago that Huckabee was going to run.
- Fourth link, MikeHuckabee.com: website trashing Huckabee and pointing all of the negative rumors that float about him.
- Fifth link, finally, Huckabee’s PAC Hope For America that has nothing on it. Unfortunately, It’s just a blank blue page. Apparently, taken down for the announcement. When I checked the list again on Monday morning this site is now his exploratory committee’s site and is also pointed at by his exploratory committee’s url ExploreHuckabee.com
If you’ve read this and you’re working for Huckabee, please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email (lbyrd@mediabyrd.com) for some free private pointers. I just can’t have a presidential candidate from my home state looking out of touch, online.
