Huckabee endorsed by two key NH conservatives
Following his success at the Iowa straw poll and a four day visit to New Hampshire over the weekend, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has picked up the endorsement of two well known New Hampshire conservatives in his race for president.
Former state Senator Russell Prescott and former Executive Councilor David Wheeler will formally endorse Huckabee later today, the Globe has learned.
Both lost re-election races in 2004, but Prescott remains a hero to many social conservatives and Wheeler is still a leader among advocates for the Second Amendment.
In addition to Prescott and Wheeler, former Transportation Commissioner Carol Murray and five additional state representatives are expected to also endorse Huckabee.
