WATCH: New Huckabee ad, "Tax Cuts Matter"

WATCH: New Huckabee ad, "Our Values"

Mike Huckabee's new Iowa ad, called "Our Values," highlights his opposition to abortion: "The pro-life position was the one espoused by our founding fathers," he says in the ad.

Huckabee shot this ad and two others in Little Rock on Sunday. One of the other ads was the negative ad he decided not to run today. In a note to supporters, Huckabee explained his decision on that ad:

"This morning, I ordered my staff to pull the ad; I told them I do not want it to be run. If it was run at all, it would be until the stations pulled it off their schedules. And we are now committed, from now through the rest of the caucuses, that we will run only the a ds that talk about why I should be president, and not why Mitt Romney should not.
