Mike Huckabee, still one of many names being floated as John McCain's vice presidential nominee, has started up his own political action committee, Huck PAC.

In his kick-off blog on his Web site, the former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate writes that he's launching the PAC to promote candidates who "hold firm" to the principles of "tax reform, a strong national defense, real border security, life, the family, less government and individual liberty."

Aside from that, Huckabee has high goals for upending the power balance in Washington.

"Huck PAC is committed to helping Republicans regain control of the House and Senate, regain a majority of governorships and elect John McCain as the 44th president of the United States," the group's mission statement says.

"Thanks to your support and hard work, during our Governor Huckabee's campaign for president these past months, we became known as the team who could do more with less. Now, our goal is to continue our work with the same reputation," the statement continues.

The Republican presidential candidate, who won the lead-off Iowa caucuses Jan. 3, bowed out of the campaign after McCain clinched the nomination during the March 4 primaries.

Huckabee's group is asking for donations of at least $25, and has already identified a couple candidates it deems worthy of financial support. They are Arkansas state Sen. Gilbert Baker, running for re-election, and New Hampshire state Sen. Bob Clegg, who is running for Congress. Both worked on Huckabee's presidential campaign.
