How is it that a woman like Sarah Palin, who has made some of the stupidest statements ever recorded in the history of mankind, can beat Ron Paul, whose a doctor and has been in Congress for over 20 years? **sigh**

She has bigger boobs.

I expected a slight lead for Romney here. Good showing for Huckabee.

Especially since the moderate vote is going to Daniels or T-Paw like how he was hurting in IL and WI.

on another note...oooh the power of Christie's endorsement

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Wow, I thought Romney would be in the lead....

Fair enough.

[Mr. Morden]

You'd think this would be a good state for Romney, but it's consistent with the national poll that PPP put out, which has Huckabee at a 10 point lead nationwide.  Of course, other pollsters don't have him in quite as favorable a position nationally.

[Eraserhead]

Great showing for Ron Paul.

...how in the hell does Huckabee do that well in New Jersey?

...how in the hell does Huckabee do that well in New Jersey?

He is overhyped and oversold. And he has had two years on TV to further perpetuate myths about his own authenticity and conservativism.  I hope that someone can expose him for what he is and what he has essentially been doing the last three years.

He gets hardly any mention compared to the other 2012 candidates (especially Palin and Romney) so how is he overhyped?

I don't recall saying anything about media attention.

Name recognition.

^ and base of support, which Paul lacks in any meaningfull sense of the word. No, there isn't an "internet primary"

That and 18% arguably isn't "doing well" so much as the result of a fractured field. When the race narrows by NJ Huck's ceiling is lower than almost any other candidate short of Palin and Paul (and maybe DeMint).

You mentioned his TV show. How else is he "overhyped" if you didn't mean by the media?

I mean his positive qualities are exaggerated. Whether or not there is an active effort in the media at large to do it, at the present time, is inconsequential.
