The Arkansas Republican Party requires presidential primary candidates to pay a filing fee of $15,000. So far six have done so: Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson. The deadline is Monday at noon, November 19.
no big surprisehere unless huckabee suffers a loss in the promary.
It would be a waste of money for Tancredo, Keyes, and Hunter… they need to put those resources into Iowa and NH if they’re to have any chance of gaining traction at all.
And Arkansas, as Huckabee’s homestate, is an easy one to skip without penalty.
