WOW

1. Huckabee is up twelve points in twelve days.

That's turning into some race.

2. This Is Good News For The Ghoul

The Ghoul is hoping to hang around till Super Tuesday... He would rather face the Huckster than Romney or McCain...

He will also rip the bark off the Huckster in a debate if he gets him alone...

4. Another interesting item:

Forty-six percent (46%) of likely caucus participants think that Romney will win in Iowa this year while 25% think Huckabee will win on January 3. No other candidate reaches double digits.

So, even though Huckabee is ahead, a plurality of the respondents still think Romney will win.

5. I agree it's good news for Rudy--people in Iowa don't like Rudy, so

Huck is his surrogate to take out Romney. Huck is waiting and hoping for VP under Rudy--he knows he isn't going to be the nominee. That's why the most insanely pro-life candidate has never said a negative word about the most pro-choice front-runner candidate in the race. Odd (and totally creepy) bedfellows.

edit--always remember that Pat Robertson won the Iowa caucuses. They love them some Jesus--they don't realize they're setting the stage for an eventual (cross-dressing, pro-choice, adultering) Rudy victory, but no one ever said Iowa GOPers were smart.

3. That's something

If it holds up for the next month.
