Mike Huckabee

Mike Huckabee has endorsed former U.S. Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) in his bid for the 1st Congressional District.

"Jeb has said his highest priority as a member of Congress was to vote to support the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, and to support our nation's veterans to whom we owe our most precious freedoms," Huckabee wrote on his website. "Jeb represents those core conservative values that are important to each of us."

It was a strategy that didn't even work for Bob Clegg in his Republican primary last week, but this morning Executive Council candidate Russell Prescott is proudly touting the endorsement of Mike Huckabee.

Like Clegg, Prescott, a former state senator, endorsed Huckabee in this year's presidential primary.

BEDFORD -- Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee warned his fellow Republicans that they would not win the November election by attacking U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, now the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.

"As Republicans we would make a huge mistake this year if we think we're going to win the election by demonizing Barack Obama," Huckabee said at the annual luncheon of the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women at C.R. Sparks in Bedford.

"As an American I can obviously salute the extraordinary barriers that have been broken already in this election cycle," said Huckabee.
