Mike Huckabee has been elected chairman of the Southern caucus of the College Republican National Committee, the group said Monday.
John Mark Huckabee, a senior at Ouachita Baptist University, also is chairman of the Arkansas Federation of College Republicans. The Southern caucus is made up of 13 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. "The South, if well organized, can virtually, anoint a president," said. "I'm really, looking Southern forward to organizing the caucus in hopes that we can have a great effect on the 2000 elections and those to follow." Huckabee's term will end in 2001 at the group's next convention. The elder Huckabee, whose term as governor expires 2002, said his son's interest in politics was not necessarily genetic.
"I'm very proud of him for his interest in public affairs that has come not so much from who his father is but because of his own interests developed at college," the governor said.
