Mike Huckabee Wins 2012 Straw Poll at Values Voters Summit

"Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is the preferred 2012 GOP presidential nominee among Christian conservatives, according to the results of a straw poll announced Saturday at an annual gathering in Washington.

Prominent Republican leaders, including House Minority Leader John Boehner, took to the stage at the Value Voters Summit to blast President Obama's spending policies and announce the top 2012 presidential pick among conservative voters.

The summit's poll, which featured nine presidential prospects, found that 28 percent of Christian conservatives said Huckabee would revive the Republican party and traditional conservative principles.

Leading the rest of the group, Massachustts governor Mitt Romney, like Huckabee a former GOP presidential candidate, won about 12 percent. Other strong contenders included Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who poll just behind Romney. Former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Indiana Rep. Mike Pence came out in in a virtual tie, also close behind the others."

I heard about this...I tend to like Huckabee. He seems to have the conservative values that the Republican party has kind of walked away from. I definitely think we need more of that!
