CNN projects Huckabee to win the GOP side, while it is a 3 way virtual deadheat on the democratic side...

Why the complete certainty that Huckabee will crash and burn in the presidential election?Ether_Snake said:
Edit: and why doesn't FOX like him?

Huck's win combined with Thompson's probable drop out is great news for McCain.

If Huckabee gets the nod tonight, Fox News will be wall-to-wall "Iowa is meaningless" coverage for the foreseeable future.

I really dug MSNBC transfer from Countdown to the Election Coverage. Move the camera out, then right back in.

Fox News really seems to hate Huckabee . . . and didn't Murdoch have a fund raiser for Hillary? Is it possible that Fox could support Hillary if it is her against Huckabee? :lolEther_Snake said:

Because whoever put Bush and Cheney in power will never be able to have it their way with that guy. Romney or Giuliani would have been their choice. On the Dem's side, it would be Clinton, followed by Obama.

Huckabee is a social conservative but has some economic populist leanings . . . the corporatist side of the GOP (Fox News) hates him because of that.Souldriver said:
What the hell at that projection? The MSNBC stream is the only one I seem to be able to watch here in the UK, and I can't believe they waited for exactly the hour before releasing the "breaking news". Just not used to that over here.
To be honest I'm really curious about the Ron Paul internet effect (not as a fan of him, but as a fan of the internet).

It's not hate. It's rationality. Huckabee is very religious, has strong personal opinions. Romney was an OBVIOUS puppet, ready to change his coat at any signal over anything. Giuliani was basically saying "do me! do me! I will do anything for the presidency! war war war har har har!". Clinton is where she is because she bends over for everyone with money or the political support, and she's rather hawkish. Obama has been on more or less the same line as Hilary, calling her out only when she was vague about issues, but in the end both are the same except he has less "experience" (as in: knowing who to listen to).
Code:
John Edwards 159 32.6%
Barack Obama 159 32.6%
Hillary Clinton 157 32.2%
Bill Richardson 9 1.8%
Joe Biden 4 0.8%
Chris Dodd 0 0.0%
Mike Gravel 0 0.0%
Dennis J. Kucinich 0 0.0%
Others 0 0.0%Are you sure about that?Amir0x said:
Who carried George W. Bush to victory in two elections? Evangelicals. Take them out of the picture and Democrats probably win in 2000 and 2004 half awake.
Who does Huckabee attract? Evangelicals. Romney or even McCain would probably make evangelicals feel divided and that would put Democrats at a serious advantage. Huckabee looks to be the guy who won't let evangelicals down when just a couple months ago, they figured Rudy was the likely nominee, and not too happy about it.
The first step to a brokered GOP convention has been taken today, and I for one am ecstatic about it. The weaker they look the easier it's going to be for whichever shitty candidate the dems trot out to win and prevent any more retards in the vein of Scalito getting appointed to the Supreme Court

yes. again, these caucuses is the american idol cast off show for the presidency. If your in third place, you can likely become the vice president because you show poise in those states.ToxicAdam said:

No . . . it was a combination of evangelicals and corporatists. Huckabee may be too evangelical and he has economic populist leanings such that many corporatists will take the centrist Hillary over Huckabee.Diablos said:
