Huckabee Surges, Obama Gains in Iowa

RE: "Ron Paul Upset in Iowa"

Is Upset a verb or a noun?

Excluding Ron Paul from the story is inexcusable; he captured a substantial 8% of votes. End the censorship of Ron Paul.

I am confused about Mike Huckabee???? He states that he is a Christian and is pro-life on the abortion issue. However, he supports the death penalty. Thou shall not kill means what exactly?? Save the unborn and murder the condemned??

i saw Huckabee say on TV that the reason he is ahead is because Jesus and God are making it happen. And he believes the Earth was created in 6 day about 6,000 or so years ago.

Yea, sure, this religious bigot will win the Presidency. About the same time that pigs fly, but it won't happen in 6 days!

Why would your article not mention Ron Paul, who is at 8% in your new poll, above John McCain, who does rate mention? That does not merit any attention?

HuckaBEE is flying and lifting the spirits of thjose folks like me who felt the other candidates were simply notnpresidential material,. Perhaps the big money boys will discover who makes the "honey" that is givi ng ordinary people the hopefulness that we expierienced under that former shining star Ronald Reagan.

Huckabee will win Iowa if he can successfully distract everyone from his poor record by keeping the evangelicals focused on religious bigotry. Huckabee will continue to run his "The Christian Candidate" theme and Trust Huckabee will continue to push-poll the anti-mormon theme. The state papers will continue the anti-mormon stuff in the papers. The DuMond case, unethical handling of funds and assets as governor, and his non-conservative record will all be ignored. Once he's the nominee, the MSM and the Democratic candidate will pounce on him and Huckabee will lose worse than Dole ever dreamed of loosing. And the inner-mountain West, which always votes Republican, will swing Democrat because all the Mormons will be voting Democrat having been alienated by the bigot evangelicals.

HuckaBEE is taking off like a rocket ,prayerfully even those with deep pocket swill put their money on the GOP's man who can winthe hearts of the ordinary folks like a BEE does with honey

Prior to a couple weeks ago I didn't know who Mike Huckabee was. However after watching the debate Mike seemed like the only credible candidate in the group. He answered directly without waffling. He seems to know where he's going and that's important if you ever plan on getting anywhere. He was'nt involved in mud slinging, radical behavior or people pleasing, Just common sense. I hope I have the opportunity to cast a vote his way

Here's some coverage of this article and poll (from www.lewrockwell.com/blog) that gives us a fuller story:

Paul Beats McCain in Iowa; MSNBC/Newsweek Censors Own Poll
Posted by Eric A. Garris at December 7, 2007 04:50 PM

The new MSNBC/Newsweek poll on Iowa puts Ron Paul at 8% of likely GOP caucus-goers, 2 points above McCain.

But both MSNBC and Newsweek, who commissioned the poll, have omitted Ron Paul from the analyses.

Newsweek's article on the poll analyzes it with regard to the top candidates, including McCain, but omits any mention of Ron Paul, who beats McCain in their own numbers.

Chris Matthews, who was the first to announce the results on MSNBC, displayed a chart:

Huckabee: 39%
Romney: 17%
Thompson: 10%
Giuliani: 9%
McCain: 6%

and then proceeded to talk about those five candidates, never mentioning Ron Paul's 8%.

If Ron wins in Iowa, I wonder if they will leave his total off the results?

I watched the first republican debate and didn't even know who this Huckabee guy was, but I liked him a lot. I have grown to like him more the more I see and hear him. I think Huckabee is a straight shooter and a great candidate for the GOP. Glad he is doing so well and that many people seen and felt the same way I did.

I watched the first republican debate. I had no idea who this Huckabee guy was, but I liked him immediately. I have grown to like him more the more I see and hear his take on things. I believe Huckabee to be a straight shooter and a great candidate for the GOP.

Just a reminder to those who think Huckabee is their choice. He is a member of the CFR , will keep our troops in battle around the globe, believes in giving American rights to illegal aliens, and he believes in open borders. So if keeping the USA as our country is important to you------ better take a closer look and do your homework. Ron Paul is the ONLY choice is you want to live in the America founded by the creators of our constitution.

yeah and folks said the same thing about the great king george... there was something aout him... was it all the lies? was it his arogance? was it his cowardice? Was it because he was rich and out of touch? or was it his ignorance?.... look were he brought us... not sying the dems are much better ... .we need to outlaw lobbyists and take the country back from the corporations before we are all destroyed...
it shouldn't matter what religion a candidate has but since king george let the right wingnuts totally hijack the gop I cannot find myself voting republican for ANY position
