Huckabee Faults Some Republicans

Gov. Mike Huckabee faulted some congressional Republicans for abandoning
party principles and said Friday he is urging local candidates to draw
distinctions with the GOP-controlled Congress.

The Republican governor and potential 2008 presidential candidate also
said he is not afraid to be seen with President Bush, whose popularity
has dropped.

"Where we agree with him, I think we should stand strongly with him,"
Huckabee said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm not
afraid to be seen with him, but I have to be true to my principles and the
people who elected me than to any one person."

Earlier this week, at an event in Maryland, neither Republican Gov. Bob
Ehrlich nor GOP Senate candidate Michael Steele appeared with the president.
