Huckabee does very well in Iowa, perhaps even winning. Enought to really damage Romney in NH and Michigan after all he has invested in Iowa.this potentially helps McCain and Guliani. Thompson and Huckabee are after the same voters.
Huckabee is just about tied for 2nd in a couple of new Iowa polls.
So then we end up with a nannystate soft on illegals republican (which I thought conservatives were supposed to abhor) instead of a soft on abortion & gun rights republican (which I thought conservatives were supposed to abhor).
The reason I’m willing to support a Rudy candidacy is because I recognize the reality that there is no viable candidate out there who fits the entire bill, and Huckabee appears to be like Bush, and he hasn’t worked out so well, so I’m willing to give someone of a different type a chance. I’m willing to take Rudy at his word regarding judges. If he were to lie about that, why not just lie and say he’s seen the light re: abortion?
Anyhow, it’s almost getting boring discussing it.
