I cannot believe the idiocy of Iowa Pubs in backing the Huckster, if this poll is anywhere close to right. How gullible and naive are some Pubs, I ask you? They’ve been totally swayed by the MSM who wants the Huckster to upset Romney, and Guiliani who is loving this, for the same reason. The problem is, there isn’t enough time, I don’t believe, for the Iowa Pubs to get a clue about the true Huckster. The damage is done, and the gullible will vote. Hopefully, the Pubs in New Hampshire won’t fall victim to the snowball effect from Iowa, and vote the same way. I can’t believe they will as NH isn’t chock full of evangelical Christians. However, they might do something even worse and vote for John McCain. Romney will then most likely be out of the picture if this scenario takes place, and Guiliani will take it from there and mop up in Florida and elsewhere, as a much more viable alternative to either the Huckster or McInsane. Unless Fred Thompson is able to pull it together and rise in the polls fast.

“Romney will then most likely be out of the picture if this scenario takes place,”

How sad that would for Romney, but for republicans it would be OK, and for conservatives, it is looked for.

Let him return to his old anti-Reagan life.

One of the more acceptable candidates doesn’t even warrant a mention in most polls or from the talking heads on TV — Duncan Hunter.

It appears the rest of the animals running for the office from both parties are flyweights I wouldn’t have hired for even the most menial management job in my prior career....

That is about as kind and unprofane a comment I can make about the “field”.....

It appears the Republic is determined to become a Third World wasteland.

Is Iowa a state where anyone from any party can vote in the caucus?

Given the lack of a conservative alternative candidate that is strong on social issues, Evangelicals and are flocking toward Huckabee. Why wouldn't they? Huckabee is the best candidate on those issues.

All Thompson had to do was say I am for a constitutional amendment for pro-life, however, if this would not work I have another idea with overturning Roe vs. Wade and ensure that I work as hard as I can to get every state on board as a pro-life state. He did not do the first part and it is killing him. I can’t believe that he is not for a constituational amendment...that is what the Republican Party has been for since forever as far as I am concerned. I cannot support him because of this. Oh and of course their is the marriage amendment that hurts him too.
