This is interesting: former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has asked the members of his HuckPAC mailing list to help out former Sen. Elizabeth Dole in retiring her debts from her 2008 re-election race. “The Nation lost a great hard working advocate for conservative values when her race was swept up in the Obama tide,” writes Huckabee. “I hope you will join me in assisting her with a generous contribution today to retire her debt of $356,043. I believe it would be a travesty if she were left with a debt after all her hard work as a public servant.”
Whole email below the fold:
I have a favor to ask regarding my very special friend, Elizabeth Dole. The Nation lost a great hard working advocate for conservative values when her race was swept up in the Obama tide. The Democratic Party spent $12 million to defeat her in North Carolina and special interest groups spent millions more.
The Obama campaign opened 50 field offices with 400 paid staff and 21,000 volunteers, all geared to three weeks of early voting. North Carolina had the biggest increase in voter turnout of any state in the nation, a reflection of the huge amounts of money poured into the state.
I hope you will join me in assisting her with a generous contribution today to retire her debt of $356,043. I believe it would be a travesty if she were left with a debt after all her hard work as a public servant.
Elizabeth has been a pioneer, breaking many glass ceilings for women in her career spanning 40 years. She has spent her life in service to America and the world, and while she lost an election, she has not lost her willingness or ability to continue to serve for the greater good of our nation.
To do that, she needs to conclude old business and that is why your help to retire her campaign debt is so important. Please use this link to send a contribution today to the Elizabeth Dole Committee, Inc., or you may contribute via mail by sending your contribution to Post Office Box 97275, Raleigh, North Carolina 27624. I hope I can count on you to help.
Sincerely,
Mike Huckabee

Dole was and is a joke!! I'm from NC and am embarrased to say she represented this state. She was just a bobble-headed bimbo that pulled the party line and ran a dirty campaign and still lost! She should pay her own way, She's a Repug she has money!!

Two solid conservatives who work around the clock to help lift America back up to higher ground, Mike Hukckabee and Elizabeth Dole. Let's do the right thing and help Elizabeth Dole.
Mike Huckabee is on his way of repeating another Ronald Reagan landslide victory in 2012 like Reagan did in 1980. His fan base continues to expand into every state & every county of America non-stop 24/7.

No can be smart all the time. I think that this was an oversight by Huckabee in asking his supporters to help pay this $356,403 debt of Elizabeth Dole's 2008 re-election race.
As ordinary citizens in today's economy, we are struggling to pay off our own debt !!
We are trying to support other candidates who have a future and are running for office.
One needs to find another venue to ask for this kind of support. Maybe a $1,000-up plate dinner with special guests for those who can afford that .
I have always liked the Dole's but was unfortunate to hear of some reasons that may have contributed to her defeat in this last election. I wish them well.
