A week before Grand Rapids visits, Mike Huckabee complains of double standard in his national coverage vs. Sarah Palin's; Kuyper student plans Palin protest
By Jeff Cranson | The Grand Rapids Press
Just days before back-to-back book tour stops in Grand Rapids, a rivalry is building between 2012 presidential wannabees Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin.
At the same time, a student at the conservative, Grand Rapids-based Kuyper College has begun efforts to protest Palin's visit.
Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas and the leader in early polls surveying the GOP presidential field, complained to Politico of a double standard in media coverage....
...Huckabee will sign books in Grand Rapids Nov. 17. Palin will begin her book tour here the next day, Nov. 18.
Kuyper student Matthew Kelley, 21, says he has commitments from about 20 people to protest near the corner of East Beltline Avenue and 28th Street before Palin's stop at Barnes and Noble at the Woodland Mall.
Kelley, a native of Kenosha, Wis., describes himself as a political independent with liberal views on some issues. He's protesting former Gov. Palin, he said, because she "has not been a responsible public figure.
