Huckabee Moving Up
The great Political Derby has its latest call on the 2008 horse race up today and Mike Huckabee continues to advance. Now up to number 5, the Derby says of Huckabee:
"Governor Huckabee has become better at generating press outside his own backyard and it's paying off with national visibility. He still has work to do in Iowa and NH if he wants to be mentioned as a top-tier candidate, but the more the press calls him a serious 2008 hopeful, the more party activists will start to believe it."
There's much more, so click on over HERE.
Editor's note: The Derby has Huckabee ranked behind Sen. George Allen (1), Sen. John McCain (2), Rudy Giuliani (3), and Gov. Mitt Romney (4). Of these, only George Allen is a real competitor in our view. McCain is too hated by the party base to get the nomination, Giuliani is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage, and Romney, while a good and nice man, will have tremendous difficulty selling the religious right on his Mormonism. You can consider Huckabee the defacto #2 on this list right now. You can take that to the bank.
