Here comes Huckabee II: Huckaboogaloo

Eighteen percent in Iowa, says Rasmussen.

All he needs…all he’s ever needed…is for Republicans to take a long look.

Well, that and about $10 million.

  1. That is rather startling. Is it an outlier?
    As I have been saying for a while, I can constuct (what I think is) a very feasible scenario in which any of five or six candidates win the Republican nomination, and Huckabee is definetaly one of them. I started saying this not too long after I started reading this blog, what with Rojas’ “Dont sell Huckabee short” posts and Brad’s historical analysis of non-incumbant primaries. So, credit where credit is due I suppose.

  2. No, it’s not an outlier, I don’t think. He’s been in the double digits in Iowa for a month or two, creeping up.

    One of us here bought a bunch of stock a month ago in Huckabee winning Iowa.

  3. One of us here CAN’T buy any stock in Huckabee, because his Huckabee sales a month ago got retroactively invalidated as “suspicious trades”; and because he purchased about 5000 shares in Obama, anticipating the third quarter fundraising numbers, only to have the stock lose a quarter of its value within a week.

  4. And he’s raised all of 45,000 for October so far. He might be polling fairly high in Iowa(where i suppose ther is no shortage of people who believe the earth is 6000 years old and like ethanol subsidies), but he hasn’t moved at all on intrade.com.
