Still once, Romney was out, Huckabee had issues raising funds. But that was likely a function of the fact that McCain had virtually wrapped up the nomination after Super Tuesday. The GOP delegate allocation rules were a real hindrance to Huckabee and that didn't do him any favors on the campaign trail. <br /><br />We'll see about 2012. The race will be less interesting without Huckabee in it.<br /><br />[Well, maybe not if Palin opts to run.]Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-21884872616783853972009-04-28T21:49:00.000-04:002009-04-28T21:49:00.000-04:00Gov.

Still, he DID the UNTHINKABLE to get so far with so little $. That speaks volumes for how he is abble to stretch a dollar and how powerful his message is.

Howeve...Yeah, it is something of a head-scratcher. However, <A HREF="http://www.demconwatchblog.com/showComment.do?commentId=3990" REL="nofollow">as Scott pointed out in the comments over at DemConWatch</A>, there really isn't that much difference between the four candidates. <br /><br />Here's the thing: if you average the numbers out across the four match ups, Obama is at 51% with the Republican candidates coming to 40.25%. To me that is the status quo from November once you factor in undecideds overall and the uncertainty of who the actual nominee is going to be for the GOP in 2012.<br /><br />We're just too far out. It probably won't keep me from looking at these things though.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-84949210994779942792009-04-23T16:52:00.000-04:002009-04-23T16:52:00.000-04:00I am shocked that Palin got 41%.

Perhaps when the election is so far off, the most important attribute is personality, and Huckabee is easily the most likable? Maybe Obama's doing well enough on the economy that he's got some of the economics voters that would normally go to Romney? Or are people just mad at greedy rich guys right now, and Romney, unlike Huckabee, can come off as a greedy rich guy?<br /><br />I'm not sure either.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365194237710177589noreply@blogger.com
