In 2008, Zaeske and his wife, the former Jo Ann Macha, supported former [[Arkansas]] [[Governor]] [[Mike Huckabee]]  for the Republican presidential nomination, ultimately won by the late U.S. Senator [[John  McCain]] of Arizona. Jo Ann Zaeske told an interviewer that their support for Huckabee was based on the candidate's embrace of "family values." Lou Zaeske said that could not support McCain in part because of McCain's divorce from his first wife. He even indicated that he would vote for [[Barack H. Obama]] in a contest against McCain because he thought that Obama could work across party lines, an argument also used at the time by the McCain supporters<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theeagle.com/local/Huckabee-generates-frenzy|title=Holly Huffman, "Huckabee generates frenz|date=March 1, 2008|publisher=''The Bryan-College Station Eagle''|accessdate=September 5, 2011; material no longer on-line}}</ref>
