Zogby’s polling reliability always leaves room for doubt.

More importantly, I note that Rudy has all but disappeared from the radar since he isn’t involved in the Iowa caucus. His people are spinning it as part of a “national strategy” but I gotta wonder if that’s really true. Discounting Huckabee as a national candidate, does it really do Rudy any good to be seen missing from Iowa and not winning in New Hampshire? It looks like Huckabee will do well in Iowa and South Carolina. That’s an awful long time of ceding active participation (read winning) in primaries.

CNN is practically a house organ of the Clinton campaign.

It might be best to avoid the using the words “Clinton” and “organ” in the same sentence.

Bryan, I am glad to see that you have just as keen an understanding of the Clintons as I do!!!!! I never underestimate the ability of Bill Clinton to spin anything his way. No matter how dreadful his personal conduct is, Bill Clinton can spin it into a tale of personal heroism.
My favorite Bill Clinton whopper is the story he told many times of how he reacted to hearing about Rosa Parks on the Alabama bus. Clinton emotionally told audiences that in solidarity with Rosa Parks, he (Bill) and a friend got on a public bus and moved to the back of the bus to sit with the African-Americans. So I looked up how old Clinton was when Rosa Parks got on the bus that fateful day. Clinton would have been ten years old and ten year old boys don’t do things like that. Clinton was careful not to say who his friend was because someone might actually ask the “friend” if the event actually happened. And my guess is that Clinton has told the story so many times that in his mind, it really happened.

If Romney is indeed fading, it may be because the truth he has kept bottled up in MA is finally getting out. Here's a taste: - this - this - this - this - this It should have happened long ago. Romney's is the most absurd "serious" GOP presidential candidacy I have ever seen, bar none. Tom Blumer BizzyBlog.com

“I don’t’ believe [Romney’s ad is legitimate] because in Iowa we are issues based,” said one focus group voter.

What a load of narcissistic bullsh!t from said Iowa focus group voter. If you guys in Iowa were issues based then Huck would be polling in the low single digits. You morons are pander-based, and Huck’s doing well there because he’s done the best job of pandering, bar none.

Don’t flatter yourselves, Iowa voters. You’re not all that.

Wow, Huckster can actually play. Unlike Clinton. He’s probably the worst sax player I had ever heard.

It’s important that our future president not just be able to jam but to jam well.

It’s sure to impress the world and intimidate our enemies.

Honestly, at this point, I wouldn’t be shocked to see it as Huck for the Republican Party and Obama for the Democratic Party. Actually, I’d be surprised if it isn’t.

Then I’m staying home. Really, what’s the difference between an ultra-lib Obama or an ultra-lib Huck who just happens to be a Christian?

Bryan, There is something you are missing. It is entirely possible that Obama will defeat Hillary and I hope it happens. But that does not mean that Obama really “wins”. Recall the Bill Clinton lost Iowa and New Hampshire in 1992 and with the help of the MSM, he turned both losses into resounding wins. After getting whomped by Tsongas in 1992 New Hampshire primary, Clinton declared himself “the comeback kid”, did a victory dance, and the MSM and the networks bought in in total. Next thing we knew, Clinton was considered invincible. He is doing it again today, going on the MSM programs and talking about how if Hillary comes close, it is a miraculous event. The MSM loves the Clintons. CNN is practically a house organ of the Clinton campaign. HRC can lose every primary but the media will inevitably spin it as a Clinton surprise win.

I was thinking the same thing about 2 mos. ago, only it was about Iowa. This guy really has been a surprise for me. ‘Course, that’s really not saying much, I miss a lot of things.

He’s popular now because he’s winning and he and Mitt have sucked the air out of the national media. That will change when NH comes around and the story switches to Mitt vs McCain vs Rudy

But according to Logsdon, if the Huckabee-Christ ticket makes it all the way to the White House, it could be historic in more ways than one: “If Huckabee is elected and then something happens to him while in office, we would be looking at our first Jewish president.”

Dare I say it?

One overlooked benefit of this is the resurrection aspect…Nancy Pelosi would never be closer than one heartbeat away from the Presidency. (So long as we include the requisite 3-day waiting period, that is.)

Received this in my email this morning. Enjoy:

In a bold move that could dramatically alter the playing field of the 2008 GOP presidential race, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee today named Jesus Christ as his vice presidential running mate.

Huckabee has made an increasing number of comments about his relationship with Jesus in recent debates, but few Republican insiders expected him to announce that he was anointing Christ as his vice presidential pick.

“This could be huge for Huckabee,” said Stenson Partridge, a veteran GOP consultant. “Among Republican voters, Jesus Christ is even more popular than Ronald Reagan.”

The Rev. Pat Robertson, a supporter of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, said he was “blindsided” by the news of Huckabee’s decision: “I talked to Jesus last night, and he didn’t mention anything about it.”

At a raucous Huckabee rally in Davenport, Iowa, today, supporters of the former Arkansas governor could be seen holding signs reading “HUCKABEE/CHRIST ‘08.”†

It is “highly unorthodox” for a presidential candidate to select a vice presidential running mate who is a prominent figure in the Holy Bible, says Davis Logsdon, dean of the School of Divinity at the University of Minnesota.

But according to Logsdon, if the Huckabee-Christ ticket makes it all the way to the White House, it could be historic in more ways than one: “If Huckabee is elected and then something happens to him while in office, we would be looking at our first Jewish president.”

Your plan is infinitely better than the free for all that’s going on now. I’d like to at least have to opportunity to not hold my nose and vote in November. Not saying that it still wouldn’t happen, but it is completely out of my control at this point.

First Clinton on sax, now Huck on bass. Looks like musical talent is required for the Arkansas governorship. Hopefully they will be able to jam with their Tennessee neighbors Lamar Alexander (piano) and Tipper Gore (drums).
