In early March, Mike Huckabee will be making four book tour stops in the battle ground state of North Carolina. In 2008, McCain narrowly lost in the Tar Heel state to Obama flipping the red state to blue. In order to turn that state back to it's historic red hue, Republicans best option would be to have Mike Huckabee at the top of the 2012 ticket.
