Approaching 10% in NH! Hopefully we are at 5% in that Iowa poll! Great news!

8% not bad, we're climbing, if we can be at 12-14% by the end of the month we'll be in great shape!

There is no link, other than the front page of the Drudge Report right now. It's a breaking story, so they just have it directly on the front page.

Local talk show hosts talking about him a lot. He did get second in the straw poll also.

I'm tellin you folks, I believe Huckabee to be our worst enemy right now, he takes away a lot of the Christian voters that Dr. Paul would get otherwise. (Believe it or not ..)

These numbers are not surprising at all, but they are encouraging in so far as it proves what we've all been hearing... this race is wide open.

Here's hoping that Huckabee doesn't become the media darling though... even more so than before.

Hopefully what this really means is that Giuliani will tank over the nation. But, hopefully those people also change their pro-war stance.

Yah, we just have to hope that Huckabee isn't fawned over more than Paul over one state.

So, now Dr. Paul's gotten three 7% results and one 8% in the last 7-10 days.

He is only a minor threat he doesn't have enough money or support in other states to be a major threat.

Huckabee is not the enemy, a low candidate profile for Dr. Paul is. People need to stop fighting other candidates and start promoting Dr. Paul to people who have not heard of him, not people who are determined not to vote for him.

I have absolutely no idea why people post "Huck Surprise" in the grassroots forum. There is an OTHER CANDIDATES forum, use it. I don't come here to read about Huckabee. I don't care about Giuliani, Obama or Clinton. I care about the message of freedom and the Ron Paul campaign, not these other pretenders.

It's true. I work at a Christian school and the teachers and administrators I've spoken with are Huckabee fans.

I preach 'em Ron... but a neocon is a tough shell to crack.

We need to make sure the 'Huckster Begs for New Tax' YouTube out there more to those that think he is conservative.

I don't mind Huck doing well in Iowa. That would show that Romney is a hollow shell and help RP in N.H. It also further muddles the neocon vote amongst five candidates with RP getting the rest.

If nothing else preach Ronald Reagan and Rons support of him.

He has committed to living in Iowa until the caucuses is how. He is going to be very hard to overcome in Iowa. New Hampshire is another story.

I think Huckabee hurts us more than helps us, I don't care about him splitting the neo-con vote.

He is taking the pro-life vote from Paul, and yes believe it or not there are still a lot of people that this is their number one issue. I would GUESS Huck is taking 80% of the pro-life vote (among those that it is their top issue).

I would also guess that almost all of Huck's support would swing Paul's way, no matter who Huck endorses.

The MSM started shilling for Huck when Dr. Paul started up, after his $5.3 M take. They figured the second tier was getting some play, and they could slip another CFR in between Dr. Paul and the leaders.

The club for growth will kneecap him for sure.

They really dislike the Huckster.

Sure shows poster's personalities. This poll got posted twice and one said "RP at 8% in NH" while this on said "Huckabee surprise" Hmmm Half full or half empty?

He's got a lot of pastors in the state preaching for him, that's how. He went on a little tour of the state before the straw poll--he went visiting lots of preachers. THAT is his organization. It works in Iowa, because they're not on to his record yet.

Huck came out on top today in fundraising. It looks like like he broke 1.5 million for the 4th quarter. I'm not sure how much of that is still in the bank.
