Reuters: "Huckabee seeks Catholic support"

Concord, NH:

Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee sees his conservative religious base as reaching beyond evangelical Protestants to Catholics as well.

Huckabee, an ordained Baptist preacher, won the Iowa caucus last week which kicks off the nominating process for the November presidential election, largely because of support from the state’s numerous evengelical community.

While campaigning in New Hampshire — where he is hoping for a solid third place finish in the state’s Tuesday primary — Huckabee told reporters on the bus on Monday that he felt his broad message resonated with many Catholics.

I just can't shake my unease about him. He managed a 3rd in NH yesterday. He's polling first or tied-for-first in upcoming Michigan and South Carolina. But McCain and Romney are putting up a fight.
