Just when Mike Huckabee was starting to be taken seriously, he brought back Chuck Norris.</p>
Mr. Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas who, according to polls, last week ascended to the number-two spot in Iowa, will begin running his first television ad there today ­– starring Mr. Norris, the tough-guy action hero who has been actively campaigning for Mr. Huckabee.</p>
The ad opens with a black screen and white block letters, reading, “An Important Policy Message from Governor Mike Huckabee.”

<param value="transparent" name="wmode" /><embed width="425" height="355" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src=""></embed></object></p>
Then Mr. Huckabee appears, looking somberly into the camera. “My plan to secure the borders?” he says, as the camera zooms out to reveal Mr. Norris seated next to Mr. Huckabee. “Two words. Chuck Norris.”</p>
The camera then switches between Mr. Huckabee and Mr. Norris. “Mike’s a principled, authentic conservative,” Mr. Norris says.</p>
Mr. Huckabee closes the ad by deadpanning, “Chuck Norris doesn’t endorse. He tells America how it’s gonna be.”</p>
Yes, Mr. Huckabee is known for his sense of humor, and the ad is obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek.</div></p>
