Huckabee recruits two Iowa Republicans
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two days after announcing he was exploring a bid for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee formally enlisted two high profile Iowa Republicans to chair his presidential committee in the key campaign state.
Bob Vander Plaats, the party's 2006 lieutenant governor nominee, and former House Speaker Pro Tem Danny Carroll will work to build Huckabee's grassroots network in Iowa, according to a statement. In the statement, Huckabee called the men "two of the most recognized and respected conservative leaders in Iowa." -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
