Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will pay a visit to Republican lawmakers at the state capitol Monday afternoon in hopes of securing a few endorsements.
Campaign manager Chip Saltsman – the one-time head of the Tennessee Republican Party – says in the wake of Fred Thompson leaving the GOP field, he sees a wide open race in the state.
“We’re also going to be raising some money and also getting to meet some folks around Nashville. Like I said, we’re going to come out of Florida for a couple of hours, come to Nashville, then right back to Florida.”
Supporters of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are doing their own Tennessee fundraising Monday, with three events scheduled. They expect the candidate to make an appearance here some time before the February 5th primary.
