When he ran in a somewhat crowded field in 2007-2008, Mike Huckabee was considered an underdog against other Republicans who had deeper pockets and higher profiles. Yet something about Huckabee's message resonated with voters and he won several primaries, shocking the press and the leaders of his own party. In his memoir of that campaign year, Mike Huckabee tells what made him run and why he believes that his common sense approach to politics and life is right for America. A conservative Republican, Huckabee nevertheless avoids simplistic labels, partisanship, and rancor. He identifies unifying themes that all Americans share and he offers proposals that he thinks are based on fairness and can unify a divided nation. He also provides a good dose of campaign backstory and personal anecdotes.
