So… Mike Huckabee took second in the Iowa Straw Poll… What does that mean?
Second place is the first looser? Or something bigger? I’m going to agree with ChristianConservative on this one….
Significance:
– Huckabee rented ZERO buses
– Huckabee could only afford to pay for about 1800 tickets
– Huckabee spent considerably less on Ames than other candidates – including the winner Romney
Huckabee will now turn to television appearances (Face the nation on 8/12 to discuss results of the poll), an inaugural MySpace debate, and also has fundraisers scheduled for every day in September.
In addition I think his name is going to be spoken a lot more in the upcoming weeks considering the top two national candidates only received 1-percent of the ballot after they chose not to spend any money in Iowa and free publicity (blogs like this one and stories about him in the MSM) can only help him gain ground and momentum.
