WASHINGTON (AP) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicted former Arkansas governor and presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee will catch on with Republican primary voters.
Gingrich himself is flirting with a White House run, and also complimented GOP candidates Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney during a luncheon today in Washington.
Gingrich said Huckabee is going to emerge as "the most interesting dark horse" over the next few weeks. He said Huckabee has a level of authenticity and candor that is beginning to resonate with people.
Huckabee has been largely in single digits, trailing others, but is competing hard in this week's Iowa straw poll.
