From the Arkansas News Bureau:
WASHINGTON - Mike Huckabee will lean on supporters in his home state - including the CEO of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. - to jumpstart what so far has been a meager fundraising drive for his 2008 presidential run.
The former Arkansas governor on Thursday said Wal-Mart chief executive officer Lee Scott and Jim Walton, chairman of Arvest Bank and a Wal-Mart board member, will co-host a $500-per-person reception for his campaign later this month in Rogers.
Huckabee said he raised about $500,000 over the first quarter of 2007, well behind Republican frontrunners and significantly less than Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a key challenger for the social conservative vote.
