Campaigning in South Carolina, Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee compared the 2008 presidential contest to a NASCAR race and noted that a lack of early fundraising didn't stop Bill Clinton from winning the White House.
"Clinton was not deterred," Huckabee told The Associated Press as he started a two-day fundraising tour of North Carolina. "He didn't stop when people were saying that nobody was going to nominate an unknown, southern governor."
The first quarter of fundraising ends Saturday. Huckabee, who planned to meet with North Carolina lawmakers and visit three fundraisers during his stop, insisted his total is going better than expected, but added he doesn't yet need to match the other candidates dollar-for-dollar."This is like a NASCAR race," Huckabee said. "The key for us is keeping four tires on the track. We're not worried about being a front-runner this early in the race."
