Huckabee Catches Up In Iowa

J.J. Jackson* | November 25, 2007

Don’t say I didn’t tell you about this possibility (way back on August 25th):

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, buoyed by strong support from Christian conservatives, has surged past three of his better-known presidential rivals and is now challenging former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for the lead in the Iowa Republican caucuses, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News Poll.Huckabee has tripled his support in Iowa since late July, eclipsing former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, former senator Fred D. Thompson (Tenn.) and Sen. John McCain (Ariz.). Huckabee now runs nearly evenly with Romney, the longtime Iowa front-runner.

Huckabee’s rise from dark horse to contender in Iowa is one more unexpected twist in a race that has remained fluid throughout the year and adds another unpredictable element to the competition for the GOP nomination. His support in Iowa appears stronger and more enthusiastic than that of his rivals.

This of course has Ron Paul supporters seething as they believed that it would be their candidate that would jump from also ran to front runner status … sometime … no … really … it will happen … just you wait.

My opinion is one socialist is not much different than any of the other socialists. And one historically illiterate fool is no different than any of the other historically illiterate fools.
