Huckabee Got His Invite To Arizona, Says Daughter
This weekend, three potential running mates for John McCain – Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney – will be spending time with McCain at his Arizona retreat.
Not on the list: Former Gov. Mike Huckabee, who, along with Romney, was McCain's toughest challenger for the GOP nomination and who has said that he would like to be on the Republican ticket.
A snub? Not according to Huckabee's daughter Sarah, who said in an email to the Associated Press that her father turned down an invitation to the retreat, opting instead to travel and celebrate his 34th anniversary with his wife.
The AP notes that McCain aides "have said more than two dozen people were invited for the social event and that it's not intended for vetting potential running mates," though it is widely seen as an opportunity for the presumptive GOP nominee to get a better sense of some of his top vice presidential candidates.

What''''s the big deal??
Show us your PASSPORT FILE Obama!!!
Why?
1. Crist - Not nationally known.
2. Jindal - Way to young, only 36.
3. Romney - Both strongly dislike each other.
4. Huckabee - Man of Honor, 10yrs Governor experience, Superior communicator, McCain & Huckabee get a long together very good and conservatives strongly support Huckabee.
Mike Huckabee is by far the coolest dude on planet Earth. This guy has more talented roled up his sleeve than all the politicans combined.
Huckabee is also well liked by many conservative Democrats, African Americans and Women. Mike Huckabee is extremelly popular national icon figure.
Also, because Charlie Crist rescued John McCain''s candidacy by supporting him in Florida when it counted, he deserves the veep spot, and if I were John McCain making the pick, I''ll pick Charlie Crist!!

- I have no doubt that Gov Huckabee will be on the ticket with Senator McCain.
