The Huckabee surge is mostly main stream media hype. Tucker Carlson said he was surprised that every liberal he knows in the media loves Huckabee. The liberal of all liberals Chris Matthews said the liberal media has a love affair with Huckabee. It's because Huckabee thinks as they do, that compassion is spending the tax payer money. Tax Hike Mike loves a tax increase.
What some people fail to realize is that Huckabee has gained in Iowa but not at Romney's expense. Huckabee has taken Senator Brownback's votes and he's taken from Thompson. Romney has not lost support and he still ahead in two recent polls out of Iowa.
Also, Iowa caucus polls are tricky because they don't take into account demographics and turnout. Romney leads in just about every demographic except Evangelicals. Evangelicals will not be the only ones who show up to caucus.
Also, FOLLOW THE MONEY.
This lets you know that Huckabee doesn't have grassroots support. If Huckabee was as popular as the media claims he is then he would at least be raising Ron Paul money. Huckabee is all over the news yet his grassroots donation are not coming in because it's an illusion. Romney will have the advantage in turnout because Huckabee doesn't have any organization.
This is good for Romney because the media has declared Huckabee the winner and front runner. When Romney wins the media will be asking what happen to the polls as they always do.
