KINGSTON – Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee joined about 100 guests at the 1686 House yesterday afternoon for a bowl of New England chowder at an event sponsored by former state senator Russell Prescott.
"The key issue for us is this. People are joining our effort not because it's the conventional wisdom and I am sort of the favorite son of the national media," Republican Presidential hopeful Huckabee said.
"They are joining it because they are saying he is not speaking to me, he is speaking for me and we're going to help him win."
Since last weekend when Huckabee finished second in the Iowa straw poll, he has seen a dramatic increase of support, especially in the Granite State since his last visit six weeks ago.
He had 1,000 new contributors within 72 hours of the poll. In the past week alone, his Web site has seen 3.4 million hits.
