Press Release: Mike Huckabee Accepts Values Voter Presidential Debate

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee accepted an invitation to participate in a Values Voter Presidential Debate to be held on Monday, March 3, 2008. Huckabee received the invitation on Wednesday, February 27, for the debate which would also include Senator John McCain and Congressman Ron Paul.

"I look forward to discussing the issues that are important to the people of America such as health care, education, energy independence, terrorism and national security," Huckabee wrote in his letter of acceptance. "I will clear my schedule to make time for this important debate, provided Sen. McCain participates, otherwise we will keep our current campaign schedule."

On Tuesday, Huckabee challenged Sen. McCain to a Lincoln-Douglas Style debate, but has yet to receive an acceptance from Sen. McCain.

The Values Voter debate is scheduled to be held at the Marriott Riverwalk, 711 E. Riverwalk St. in San Antonio, Tex.

McCain's claims that he's too busy for a debate before the March 4th Ohio and Texas primaries, but according to McCain's website, the Senator doesn't look all that busy this weekend with only one event on Friday, and Saturday and Sunday are entirely open. Don't bust your butt too hard, Mac...
