Little Rock, Arkansas – Mike Huckabee was a barely known former governor of Arkansas when he attended a house party on his behalf at the home of Jason Bedrick, New Hampshire’s first Orthodox Jewish state representative.

“No one had ever heard of the last governor from Hope, Ark., Bill Clinton, the summer before he was elected,” Bedrick said
“This is a guy who is very positive, very uplifting, ” said Bedrick, the gabbai at the Chabad synagogue in Wellesley Hills, Mass., where he often spends the Sabbath. “This is a country that needs some healing in addition to leadership. And of all the candidates in all the parties, he is the only top-tier candidate that can provide that.”
To boot, the New Hampshire lawmaker added, Huckabee is pro-Israel: He has visited the Jewish state nine times, and told the crowd at the Bedrick house party that he favored the establishment of a Palestinian state – in Egypt or Saudi Arabia. [jpost]
