Latest news, weather and high school sports for Albany and Southwest Georgia

Former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee made Albany the latest stop on his National Book Tour.  

The former Arkansas governor says his new book “Do the Right Thing” is intended to encourage conservative voters to “not abandon our principles but to hold to them ever more dearly.”  Huckabee won the Georgia GOP primary in the spring and was the last candidate to drop out that paved the way for John McCain to be the Republican presidential nominee.  

Huckabee urges Georgia voters to vote for Saxby Chambliss because Chambliss believes in the “sanctity of human life, strong commitment to the Second Amendment.”
