it is official the reverend mike huckabee is going to do it again. he wants to be president of the united states. huckabee kicked off the campaign from his hometown of hope arkansas, earlier today. the former baptist preacher is again running as a social conservative. it's the same old act. he started his speech by recalling his childhood in hope. >> i learned about america. in miss mary's kindergarten as well as at brookwood elementary school, i learned the pledge of allegiance, the lord's prayer and the preamble to the constitution. we prayed at the start of each day and we prayed again before lunch. and i learned that this exceptional country could only be explained by the providence of almighty god. >> well huckabee wasted no time going right at the president of the united states, attacking president obama. >> it was eight years ago that a young untested inexperienced, and virtually unknown freshman senator made great speeches about hope and change. but eight years later, our debt's more than doubled, america's leadership in the world has complet

mike huckabee's image shifted too. as "politico" puts it times change and mike huckabee has changed with him. he says his party doesn't want sweet talking guys. this time around he thinks the republican wants somebody who can eat nails and spit out tax and mike huckabee adapted. huckabee showing his not so soft side this week when he took a swipe at president obama's policy. >> dealing with radicals who chant death to america and fund bombs and rockets to israel is nonsense. when i hear our current president say he wants christians to get off their high horse so we can make nice with radical jihadists, i wonder -- i wonder if he could watch a western from the '50s and be able to figure out who the good guys and the bad guys really are. >> with me now to talk about this republican strategist and cnn political commentator anna navaro, a and noelle political strategist. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> seems like republicans are toughening up and democrats are softening. >> i don't know that mike huckabee

ted cruz and mike huckabee not too far behind. jed bush, for his formidable organization, and ties, doesn't seem to be healed and shoulders above the field at all. >> you are right. it's an example of what we mean by a flat field. >> what happens in a flat field is people you never expect to mount a campaign is able to do so, and means that the leading candidate doesn't have to appeal to many members of the party. someone like jed bush benefits to a certain amount to the flat field not because he thought conservatives on the right, breaking up the base and vying for support. if he's able to win a small number of the remaining moderates in the party, he can take this nomination, of course, a draw back will be he can be beat up by the end of the process. depending if the conservatives stay in the race, and if they feel they can make a go of it like south carolina, and push ahead. this is a good sign for jed bush, and depending what happens, he could feel the effects of this going forward. >>> does the money and how people are raisin
