We really don't know what people have absorbed. There hasn't been one vote cast yet, and polls are merely a reflection of media coverage, which is the only reason Huckabee is leading anywhere.

That's kind of true. I'm certainly not going to argue that everyone has made up their mind already, because that's obviously not true.

And I don't put my faith in any one poll and say that it's gospel.

But if all the polls indicate Hillary is leading, she probably is. Likewise with any other candidate.

So, Huckabee is certainly enjoying a surge at present. Whether it can withstand any scrutiny, I don't know. I rather doubt it, but politics and the American public are fickle.

I think the hard reality is that Huckabee doesn't have the funds to effectively compete after Iowa, and the guillotine drops on Feb 5.

We'll see then who still has his head.

I agree. Once we get into February, we’ll see. It’s hard to tell with these early states. Nevada used to not be, but that got moved last year thanks to Dina Titus and company.

Man you've got that right.

The Iowa Caucus is now less than 14 days away. I just heard recently that nearly 60% of registered voters had not yet chosen their guy.

If this is true, I would have to think that that is going to translate into low turnouts in the primaries. Kinda scary.
