Bill Clinton`s planned visit to Arkansas this
weekend to stump for John Kerry has taken the state election
spotlight. But Governor Mike Huckabee led a Republican barnstorming
effort yesterday to make sure President Bush doesn`t slip in the
final days of the campaign.
Huckabee and Lieutenant Governor Win Rockefeller visited seven
Arkansas cities in 18 hours, taking planes from stop to stop.
Huckabee said the trip was to shore up support among Bush
supporters. He said he and the rest of the Bush campaign is
confident most Arkansans support Bush, but he said he`s worried
they`ll stay home and -- quote -- "this thing could tilt the other
way."
Huckabee also said Clinton should be careful about tarnishing
his image in the final weeks before his presidential library opens
in Little Rock with a gala international event. The governor said
Clinton could take some of the shine off his library event if he
comes to Arkansas and can`t deliver it for Kerry.
