Listening to the popular median one would think that Mike Huckabee is a one trick pony. He may just win Iowa but the conventional wisdom seems to be that it is over from there.
But looking at Real clear Politics seems to tell a vastly different story. He is trailing the pack in New Hampshire polling at a RCP average of 9% as compared to McCain's 32%.
But after New Hampshire the campaign moves to Michigan where Huckabee is in a statistical dead heat with Romney. 18.8% for the Huckster as compared to 19.8% for Romney.
From there it is on to Nevada where Huck is at 15.7% as compared to Romney and Rudy tied at 23%.
Then it is South Carolina where Huck is leading Romney 25.8% to Romney's 19.3%.
Finishing off the month of January is Florida where Huckabee is trailing Rudy 25.3% to 23.3%.
No wonder Romney and McCain are going so hard after the Huckster. It is a very easy to image a scenario where Huckabee leaves January having won 5 of 6 primaries and leading the delegate count by a mile. Ofcourse then comes California where Huck is again second only to Rudy.
These numbers will must have the Rockafeller Repubs squirming.

Praise tbe Lord,
We will now see the power of faith. Mike Huckabee was an awesome governor and will be the best President in 2009 and onwards. He has great compassion, a brilliant mind and will have leaders of other countries eating out of his hand. America will once again be respected by the international community. The big shots will be paying their fair share of taxes now.
What seems interesting to me is that Huckabee seems to be what George Bush promised to be and never succeeded at. A compasionate conservate.
Hi kwAwk,
I thought I'd drop by and check out the site. If you don't mind I might post a contrary view on occasion.
Great to have you stop by Zoy.
And you know me, I'm not afraid of listening what the other side has to say.
:)
