NRA Hearts Huckabee

MIke Huckabee received the most enthusiastic response of any candidate or potential candidate at this weekend's National Rifle Association convention.

According to Politico, Huckabee said nothing about a potential 2012 run for president "but sounded more like someone seriously considering jumping into the race than [he has] in recent public appearances - covering a full plate of issues, from foreign policy to economic recovery."

One Huckabee supporter, as she left the arena that night was quoted saying, "There's no doubt he's running after that speech!"

Mike Huckabee has a long, uninterrupted history of defending gun rights. LaPierre, the CEO of the NRA, praised Huckabee as an avid hunter and a Governor who consistently signed laws to protect gun owners.

Social consertatives in the audience brought Huckabee some of the loudest cheers, according to Politico, and excited attendees who want desperately for him to run fpr president.

"Money is not everything in our life," said Jill Montgomery, a beauty salon owner from Pennsylvania. "People can do with a lot less money, but we can't do it without God and family."
