Huck: Check out my book's first chapter

At a book signing in Iowa, Mike Huckabee asks people to check out the first chapter -- not of his newest book, but of his previous effort, Do the Right Thing.

"The first chapter in the last book that just came out in paperback now, the Do The Right Thing, the first chapter is ‘I Love Iowa’ — I mean this clearly is a place that I have had got some strong personal connections.

I’m saying all that to say that the reason I’m here is that it makes sense for me, on a book tour, to come to Iowa. I do not have any political plans for the moment. I really don’t. Everyone assumes I do, but if you looked at my schedule you’d know I don’t have time right now to sit around and try to plot some political comeback. I will be back in Iowa, I’m hoping, quite a bit next year to help Bob Vander Plaats in his campaign for governor.”

And one caveat -- Huck has already endorsed Bob Vander Plaats for Iowa Gov. and wants you to know he's serious about getting him elected.

"I think he would be a great governor, so when you see me coming back, don’t necessarily assume it’s (because) I’m coming back for me."
