Huckabee: Republicans Need to Hit 'Reset Button'

CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) - Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says this year's election was a warning that Republicans should be "pushing the reset button" because voters have lost faith that GOP candidates support the party's core values.

Huckabee says the problem isn't the party's principles but that Republicans are "not following the principles of our party."

Huckabee spoke with The Associated Press on Thursday after signing copies of his new book for more than 400 people in Cedar Rapids. He says he plans to return to Iowa, where he won this year's precinct caucuses, to campaign for others but hasn't decided whether to seek the Republican presidential nomination in the next election cycle.
