Gala provides $500,000 to Huckabee’s PAC

About 350 people paid a combined $500,000 to attend what was billed as a Christmas gala to benefit Gov. Mike Huckabee’s Virginia-based political action committee, the governor said Saturday night. The Web site for Hope for America PAC, or HAPAC, said the donations will be “seed money” to help Huckabee travel to “critical 2008 states.” People at the banquet held signs that said “Run, Mike, Run” and “Huck ’08.” Read Seth Blomeley's Arkansas Democrat Gazette article
