Huckabee wants education brought up in debates

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said he was pleased with his performance in last night's debate, but he was upset that education was never brought up in a question.

"I don't see a lot of people sitting around their kitchen tables wondering what the next president will do about teaching evolution in school, but the entire issue of education should have been addressed," he said.

"We spent an enormous amount of of time on Iraq... but nine of us really aren't that far apart on the issue," Huckabee told reporters. "
"But there are a lot of differences when it comes to the life issue, the second amendment, and health care and I hoped we could have explored that more."

He said he was glad to see there was a health care question in the debate, even if he didn't get a chance to answer it.

Overall, Huckabee is getting good reviews for his performances in the last two debates. As a result, Huckabee said he is raising a lot of money through his website.
