Sometimes he gets into nasty little spats with them. But for the most part, Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee just loves the news media. MORE »

We’ve blogged about Governor Mike Huckabee’s media meltdown, as well as the rumor — now somewhat confirmed — that his daughter Sarah has moved back to Arkansas to help raise funds for his 2008 presidential run.

(By the way, we’ve heard that Sarah is “a really sweet person.” Maybe she can serve as her father’s goodwill ambassador to the Arkansas Times.)

But we haven’t yet touched upon what has been getting Governor Huckabee the most MSM attention today: the initiative that he and Bill Clinton just announced, under which many soft drink makers will remove their high-calorie beverages from schools around the country.

And then the second item:

The daughter of a potential 2008 candidate was having a very spirited going-away party at the Tortilla Coast on Thursday night. Apparently she’s leaving Washington to work for her dad back at home. Quite a few staffers from various congressional offices were on hand, as well as close friends, roommates, and God only knows how many male admirers. Word is that in her new position she’ll be raising money for ‘08.

We received one, highly detailed response, which included some additional information about the alleged candidate in question. Check it out, after the jump.
