And now Huckabee is in a 3-way tie for the lead with Giuliani and Romney(!). I know the 2nd place finish in the straw poll was impressive, but don't you people claiming that Huckabee is now the **most likely nominee** think you might be getting a little carried away with this?
I've said Huckabee would get it even before the Iowa straw poll. He has excellent conservative credentials, pastor, Governor, from the south. It will be an uphill battle, but I think that the current climate (meaning: the distaste for current GOP candidates) makes a second-tier candidate climbing into the first tier a major likelihood, and the candidate to make that climb is Mike Huckabee.
