TFS Podcast: “Best of” Series
Republican Presidential Candidate MIKE HUCKABEE

Posted January 9th, 2008 at 1:25 PM by Adam Jacobs

Section: Motivation, Success Stories, Special Features, Interviews, Podcasts

Having won last week’s Republican Caucuses in Iowa, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee hopes to carry that momentum throughout the U.S. Presidential Primaries and this April’s Boston Marathon (where he will compete on a charity relay team).

TheFinalSprint.com had a chance to speak with Governor Huckabee in a podcast interview last March and he discussed his life-saving battle with obesity and how that experience has influenced his plans for health care reform as a 2008 candidate for the U.S. presidency.

Download this installment of the TFS Podcast “Best of” Series to hear how Huckabee, who once had trouble even walking up the steps of the U.S. Capital Building without being out of breath, changed his life and inspired others by losing over 110-pounds, holding off Type-2 Diabetes, and becoming a marathon runner!

While I applaud Huck’s weight loss, his creationist stance demonstrates that he is a full-fledged member of the flat-Earth society and not intellectually equipped to govern this country in the 21st century.

Waiting For Sunday / Listen to this! (Recommended audio) said:

[…] One of my favorite podcasts, The Final Sprint, recently interviewed Mike Huckabee - not about politics (although he does talk some about health care) but about running, exercise, and diet. Huckabee saved his health by losing 110 pounds, eating right, and running (he has completed several marathons). This 26 minute interview is worth a listen. […]
