This is like the third poll that puts Huckabee on top.

Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Republican voters nationwide say former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is their pick to represent the GOP in the 2012 Presidential campaign. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 24% prefer former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney while 18% would cast their vote for former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gets 14% of the vote while Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty gets 4%. Six percent (6%) of GOP voters prefer some other candidate while 7% remain undecided.
These numbers reflect an improvement for Huckabee since July when the three candidates were virtually even. Huckabee’s gain appears to be Palin’s loss as Romney’s support has barely changed.

This should be an interesting thread.
Huckabee = George W. Bushie No 2 NO THANKS!
Huckabee is a very arrogant obstacle in Sarah's path.
May the whiner soon realize that he has ZERO chance of winning, and quickly step aside.
I don’t think Huckabee would beat Obama. We need a Reagan, not a Dole.
(huggs) for Huckabee
Sickening. It’s almost a joke, the lack of a decent choice.
I would only vote for Palin out of this bunch.
We need a Reagan, not a Jim Baaker.
We’re in a lot of trouble if Republicans really do favor Huckabee and Romney. Both of them have demonstrated histories of governing as “pragmatic” big-government types. Doesn’t anyone pay attention?
Looks like conservatives have a lot of work to do. Thankfully we have some time to get get voters properly informed. Bottom line, NO Romney and NO Huckabee.
just stay tuned...
The GOP will lose my vote if that is the case - Palin or no one!
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. - Theodore Roosevelt
Huck has a tv show right now..... that has to be worth quite a few points
Huckabee is a snake oil salesman.
I’m with you. Huckabee wins the GOP nomination I vote libertarian even if it means Obozo wins. Huckabee governed Arkansas like a dem. By that time Congress should be in GOP hands anyway so we can start reversing the damage.
I could vote for Romney if I had to, but prefer Palin.
