Emily Miller, on the donuts of Huckabee's success.
Mike Huckabee, a weight loss advocate, lamented Wednesday that he has gained weight recently due to a painful foot condition that has prevented him from running. "I gotta drop 25 pounds".... Reporters noticed that the tie-less Huckabee was looking quite a bit plumper than during his campaign heyday. The former Arkansas governor and likely 2012 Republican presidential candidate "passed on the scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and home fries," said one reporter.
On July 14, he offered an explanation:
“It’s been hard the last several months because of the crazy schedule and I have had some issues with (feet). It’s a constant struggle to find decent things to eat on the road and not get terribly messed up with the same old habits.”
