Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee entertained a crowd of more than 900 people who filled Memorial Chapel Monday night.
Huckabee spoke for nearly an hour, touching on his childhood, the social issues facing America and his failed bid to win the GOP presidential nomination. He also addressed the possibility of being named Sen. John McCain’s running mate in the fall election.
After his speech, titled "The Pursuit of the Presidency and the Perfectly Insane American Process," Huckabee stuck around for another hour, fielding questions from the audience and greeting dozens of well-wishers who crowded around him at the foot of the stage.
Before his talk, Huckabee joined President Stephen C. Ainlay and his wife, Judith, several students and faculty for dinner at the President’s House. The former Arkansas governor also met with a dozen members of the media in Old Chapel.
