Huckabee sees a trick-or-treat presidential primary looming

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee jokingly said a simple solution may come about to all the changes in scheduling when various states will hold their presidential primaries.

"What we may end up doing is having a Halloween primary where all states participate. Every candidate goes trick or treating, go door-to-door and whoever has the best candy wins the presidency," Huckabee said on a conference call with reporters.

Huckabee's comments were in response to a question about Michigan's plan to hold their primary on Jan. 15, which would be one of the earliest states to hold a contest.

"It is a crazy game," he said of the shifting calendar. "I think that everybody is sort of saying, man we need to insert some sanity into the process."
