The Huck Man Cometh

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.
