Actually, it looks like Huck took votes almost exclusively from Fred.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Media is building him up. He is from Arkansas. If anyone knows where the bodies are buried to bury Huck it would be someone else from Arkansas. Hmmm... who can that be?

And no one is looking at this angle? Suprising.

[hflynn]

I agree. Huckabee is a MSM poll hoax. This is the guy the MSM wants to be the nominee to assure a DIMWIT win. Fortunately it is not going to work.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yep. Media building up HUCK. It is so obvious. I have seen them behave like this in the past, with their favorites.

Let us flip them one big MIDDLE FINGER, and especially you folks in the early primary states, let us send them a message and go out and pull the lever for DUNCAN HUNTER. Certainly not for HUCK!!

[MaestroLC]

Huck is a media creation. Enough of these bogus agenda-driven polls. I want to see real votes counted.

[winodog]

The media elected Bubba the first. They did everything in their power to elect algore and they will resort to anything to put bubba back in the whitehouse.
I fear the media wanting Huckabee more then I fear Huck himself.

Glad he got that foreign experience thing solved, considering we’re in a war and all.

Who would be your FIRST choice:

None; they'd all be my last choices.

[nicmarlo]

Let us flip them one big MIDDLE FINGER, and especially you folks in the early primary states, let us send them a message and go out and pull the lever for DUNCAN HUNTER [Tom Trancredo or Ron Paul]. Certainly not for HUCK [or Thompson, McCain, or Giuliani]!!

Merry Christmas, AIT! : )

[Grut]

Does it strike anyone else that McCain’s numbers are a bit high? If so, does that say anything about the accuracy of the poll?

[RockinRight]

Yes, Huck took most from Fred...because the “It’s-all-about-Jesus” crowd didn’t think Fred was a good enough campaigner.

However, Thompson’s still my #1 choice and Mitt #2, despite the antics of some of Mitt’s FR supporters.

Actually, it looks like Huck took votes almost exclusively from Fred.

FredHeads take note!

[WOSG]

It’s time to start fearing Huckabee.

If Duncan has a chance, it will be because Huckabee makes it to 1st and then falters.

[RockinRight]

What should we do about it?

Most of Huck’s supporters fawn over him because he smiles and talks about Jesus a lot...they have tunnel vision though. Same reason they’re NOT voting for Fred is the reason they’re voting for Huck...they’re shallow.

[BfloGuy]

Actually, it looks like Huck took votes almost exclusively from Fred.

That's my take, too. Conservatives have been looking for a candidate they can support and, unfortunately in my opinion, are choosing Huckabee. Fred seems to be working hard to turn that around, but it gets tougher.

[yorkie]

Someone posted last week (sorry, I don’t remember who), that Fred was like the ‘old bloodhound at Best Of Show’.

IMHO, Hunter is like a bag of very good microwave popcorn. The kernels pop, and are perfect, but they pop in slow motion.
You stand there waiting for it to take off - but it never quite does.

[nicmarlo]

Regardless, I’ll take Hunter, Tancredo, or Ron Paul any day over the other globalists/RINO’s who’re running.....and those folks’ll run this country down to the ground. And it doesn’t have far to go for that to happen.

Remind me again, of all the vast "foriegn policy experience" the current President (who leads this war) had prior to entering the White House?
