Mike Huckabee has veteran insight to share about the Iowa State Fair.

The former Arkansas governor says, “Pork chop on a stick. Trust me. It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack.”

The winner of the 2008 Iowa Republican caucuses, Huckabee started his turn atop the fair’s political soapbox Thursday with the dining tip.

When he got around to politics, the presidential hopeful spoke about his experience in office, his plans to create jobs and his opposition to abortion.

He then took questions from the crowd, but with a caveat. He said he didn’t actually want any Q and A, but rather some “questions and avoidance.”

Huckabee went on to banter easily with the crowd.
