Hi, this is my first post here.

The good news: 2 stops in Iowa and 2 stops in South Carolin.
The bad news: 0 stops in my state.

Does anyone know if there will be more added? Maybe someone will have written that already... I'll check.

I'm so excited for Huck's run this time. The debates are going to be bigger than the Super Bowl, or (if you are a basketball fan like me) bigger than the NBA finals. I look forward to Governor Huckabee's continued dominance of the stage.

Simon & Schuster Cancels Borders Events
By Edward Champion
– January 7, 2011

Dallas — Preston & Royals

3/3 — Mike Huckabee (A Simple Government, Sentinel) — Sentinel is a Penguin imprint. It’s also possible that there was a scheduling conflict with Huckabee’s schedule. (In light of the fact that Patricia Briggs — also a Penguin imprint — has been canceled, it is very possible that Penguin may have offered a few peremptory cancellations. Some inside sources are suggesting very strongly to me that Penguin has stopped shipping books to Borders, although I’m hoping to corroborate this with an official statement.)

Looks like Borders may be having some troubles, causing cancellations:



Grrrr, I wanted to go to that one too.

Investigations into these developments are ongoing. I hope to have more information in the next few days.

Awww man! I move away from Tyler, TX and now he's going to Tyler, Longview and 3 trips to the Dallas area.

Hmm...should I drive 4 hours to Wichita Falls, TX or drive 6.5 hours to see my family in Tulsa, OK and see Huckabee there?

Huckabee's book tour lavishes attention on Iowa, South Carolina

Washington (CNN) - Mike Huckabee will visit six cities in Iowa and five in South Carolina during his upcoming book tour – one more sign that the former Arkansas governor wants to keep his name in the presidential mix for 2012 even as he enjoys the comforts of a lucrative talk show career.

The tour to promote his new book, "A Simple Government," kicks off in Davenport, Iowa on February 27 and will take him to five more cities in the first-in-the-nation caucus state over two days: Dubuque, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Des Moines.

Huckabee will then travel through other states in the Midwest and south before heading to South Carolina for a two-day, five-city swing beginning on March 7. He'll sign books in Florence, Columbia, Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg.

That means Huckabee will be spending more than a quarter of his 40-city tour in two states that play a major role in determining who the GOP presidential nominee will be in 2012.

Huckabee enjoys a robust grassroots following in both states dating back to 2007, when he entered the last presidential race as a long shot but rode a wave of evangelical support to a first-place finish in the Iowa caucuses and a narrow second-place showing in the pivotal South Carolina primary.

Notably, though, the book tour will force Huckabee to skip what could be the first serious gathering of 2012 presidential contenders in Iowa – a March 7 forum in Des Moines hosted by the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition.

The influential Christian group has invited 13 possible candidates to the event, including Huckabee, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

None the invitees have publicly committed to attend, but Steve Scheffler, the coalition's president, told CNN that several candidates have privately said they will participate.

Huckabee's book hits stores on February 22.
