HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS - Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee's going to miss out on his Georgia peach ice crea. But Governor Barnes will enjoy barbecue from Hot Springs' famous McClard's restaurant. <br>
<br>
Huckabee lost his friendly wager with Barnes in last week's Southeastern Conference championship game. Arkansas lost 30-3 to Georgia in Atlanta. <br>
<br>
The restaurant's owner -- Joe McClard -- has volunteered to pack and send the barbecue dinners to the Georgia governor's office on Tuesday. <br>
<br>
Huckabee made a similar wager, but with higher stakes, when Arkansas played Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl last year. <br>
<br>
In that wager, Huckabee bet Governor Frank Keating an Arkansas duck hunt against an Oklahoma quail hunt. Arkansas lost 10-3 and Keating collected on his win in January.
