Here is Mike Huckabee's first commercial that is airing in Iowa for this week only. After all of the negative campaigning by other candidates that has been going on in recent weeks, Huckabee thought he would shake things up with this ad featuring Chuck Norris. Watch:


I really like this ad. It shows that Mike is having a good time running for President, as well as taking positive stances on the issues, and this ad strategy will really appeal to young voters. My personal favorite line was, "Chuck Norris doesn't endorse. He tells America how it's gonna be." Too true.

Huckabee issued the following statement about the commercials on his website: "The Chuck Norris ad is doing exactly what I said I would hope it would do...create some interest, give people a Thanksgiving week break from the nasty and savage ads that have been run by other campaigns, and drive people to our website to get the FULL story of the Huckabee campaign. It is working! Fox and even other networks have been running the ad and talking about it all day; website traffic is fantastic, and it is being called 'the best ad of the campaign so far.'"

For those of you who didn't care for this style of ad, don't worry. It is only being run on a limited basis this week only and on the Internet, and more serious ads will be coming out next week. However, this ad does seem to be getting Huckabee some positive attention. It was posted on YouTube yesterday and already has received almost 200,000 hits. Something must be working, and hopefully the upward trend continues.
