Dubbing it a "major announcement" for his campaign, Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said South Carolina's "First Family of Politics," is endorsing him for President. Former South Carolina First Lady Iris Campbell will serve as Honorary South Carolina State Chair of Huckabee's Presidential Exploratory Committee -- and Campbell's youngest son, Mike Campbell, will serve as a Senior National Advisor to the campaign.
On a scale from 1 to 10, the Hotline rates it a 6 on the "significance scale." Why? "Iris Rhodes Campbell is the wife of the late Carroll Campbell II, beloved SC governor from '87 to '94,, and before that, a critical player in the movement to make SC a must-win primary for GOP presidential candidates. Seen as a bit of a kingmaker for GOP presidential candidates. Did we mention: beloved by many rank-and-file Republicans?"
South Carolina is the third state in line, after New Hampshire and Iowa, to hold a primary or caucus in the presidential election.

Don't count Huckleberry out yet. Nobody is all that excited about any of the repubs. and McCain is fading. This looks like a good chance for a third party or a hold your nose vote.
