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.

Huck-a-Mania

Whatcha gonna do brother when Huck-a-Mania runs wild over you?!

You’ve gotta see this blog post….

THE ONLY POLLSTER that really matters is Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports. In addition to his unrivaled track record, Rasmussen is also the only pollster who is currently screening for likely voters. So when Rasmussen says something, we ought to pay attention.
Yesterday, Rasmussen released a poll of the Iowa Republican Caucus. Given its surprising results, I’m surprised it hasn’t received more attention. Romney’s winning with 25 percent; no big shakes there. Fred’s in second at 19 percent; again, nothing earth shattering. But here comes the bombshell: Mike Huckabee checks in at 18 percent, a stunningly strong third place showing and within shouting distance of the frontrunners….
Huckabee is the most natural campaigner in the bunch. Unlike one member of the top tier, there’s no danger that he’ll doze off in mid-sentence. Unlike other members of the top-tier, Huckabee’s a social conservative’s dream. You want someone rock-ribbed on the social issues? Huckabee’s your guy. He doesn’t even believe in evolution. His taxing and spending in Arkansas may not be every conservative’s ideal, but Huckabee probably has fewer policy skeletons in his closet than anyone else in the field.

Oh and Gov. McDreamy announced his endorsement for Rudy this week. Looks like typical politics in action.
