He's not replacing Paul Harvey on the deceased radio giant's near 1,200 stations, but Mike Huckabee will be getting his 15 minutes of fame. ABC Radio, wowed by listener reaction to the former Arkansas guv, says the stations Harvey fed will now get the Huckabee Report, a five-minute mix of Harvey-esque news and commentary, three times a day. It could be a platform for another presidential run. Huck says he isn't scheming to be the next Harvey. "The only person who can fill Paul Harvey's slot is Paul Harvey," he tells us.

Governor Huckabee has just been named the recepient of the first Zig Ziglar award for the principled way he ran his campaign and has lived his life and noone deserves it more!! Governor Huckabee's radio broadcast is just another prime example that "there is nothing this man can't do and do it well...". We need to add President to his long and impressive resume!! Read "Do The Right Thing" and you will agree he has the RIGHT answers for this country.

I totally agree with Tim of TX; the right-wing religious fanatics in this country are very dangerous. Some of these wackos want to replacethe Constitution with the bible - that is sick and scary.
