Primed minister

As Mike Huckabee has rocketed in Iowa polls to the head of the Republican pack, a spotlight has been put on the former Southern Baptist preacher's religious faith and how it may influence his politics. But on the trail, especially in New Hampshire, the candidate is less preacher, more "everyman," who rails against overpaid CEOs and the "ruling class" in Washington. If Huckabee makes it to that big desk at the White House, he promises on the campaign trail, he won't forget the workers who keep America running.
