Remember when Mike Huckabee announced that he would be announcing his plans for the presidential campaign on May 5? If that wasn't enough of a hint that the former Arkansas governor is set to hop into the race for the White House, his latest move all but dashes what little suspense remained.

Huckabee's as-yet-unofficial campaign sent out a press release Tuesday evening announcing that he will be launching a "factories, farms and freedom" tour following "his formal announcement about entering the 2016 presidential campaign." The conspicuously-timed two-day trip will take the alliterative Huckabee (see also: God, Guns, Grits and Gravy) to four communities in Iowa, where the first ballots of next year's race for the White House will be cast.
