SPARTANBURG, SC — Another Presidential candidate is trying to get on the minds of South Carolina voters. Β Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee made several stops in the Palmetto State Friday.

He began his visit with a meet and greet in Spartanburg. Β He’ll meet with supporters in Indian Land and Rock Hill Saturday. Β One of the big topics Huckabee discussed was the decision by the Iowa Republican Party to pull the plug on the Iowa straw poll this year.

“We made the decision a couple of weeks ago that we would not use our resources on the straw poll and just focus on the caucuses,” said Huckabee. Β “And today the party apparently agreed that that’s where the focus needs to be. Β And I’m delighted to hear it.”

The straw poll has been taking place since 1979 and acts as a fundraiser for the Republican Party in Iowa.
