Preacher Mike Huckabee wants statehood for D.C.

The latest from the Reverend and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Republican presidential candidate, is that Washington, D.C. should have statehood. This was broadcast on NPR. Democrats view this as an opportunity for a predominently black city to have what no other city has-its own representatives and its own senators. Statehood for Washington, D.C. is the latest example of Huckabee's decidedly unconservative views, among them including granting scholarships and in-state tuition for children of illegal immigrants.
