What we need
I love that Mike Huckabee’s campaign continues to share more and more user created videos on their website. He may be behind financially but he’s definitely taking advantage of grassroots campaigning and the Internet. And the polls show…

Huckabee takes the heat
Looks like Romney couldn’t sit quiet knowing someone was snapping at his heals.
From Time Magazine:
That’s why there was special signficance, an arrival of sorts, to Mitt Romney’s seemingly offhand observation Friday in an Iowa Public Television interview that Mike Huckabee had supported “special tuition breaks to the children of illegal immigrants.” It marked the first time that the GOP frontrunner in Iowa had ever singled out Huckabee for an attack.
Gov. Mike Huckabee passed Romney for the first time in a national poll on Friday.
Time reports that while Huckabee is feeling the heat, it’s a good thing.
“I must be doing well,” Huckabee said Saturday morning, when I told him what Romney had said. The former Arkansas Governor had not known about the swipe. Huckabee had spent Friday night, as he put it, “rocking the stage” with his band Capitol Offense before an estimated 650 people at the fabled Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, which was the last place Buddy Holly had played before he died in a plane crash in 1959. On Saturday, Huckabee was to try his hand at pheasant hunting, a popular Iowa sport, which he considered an apt metaphor. “You never put the crosshairs on a dead carcass,” Huckabee said. “Somebody sees me as a real wall mount, and that’s a good thing.”

HUCKABEE PASSES ROMNEY!
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows—for the first time ever–Mike Huckabee moving into the top four among those seeking the Republican Presidential Nomination.
And just think, I doubt he’s received half the money that the leading candidates have spent.
Rudy Giuliani remains precariously atop the pack with support from 20% of Likely Republican Primary Voters nationwide. Fred Thompson is close behind at 19% while John McCain enjoys a second straight day in third place with 14% of the vote. Huckabee continues to gain ground and is just two points behind McCain at 12%. This is the first time all year that Huckabee has surpassed Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts Governor slipped another point and he is now at just 11% nationally. No other Republican attracts more than 3% support while 18% are undecided.
