I tend to think that is a Fluke poll. We shall see.
If Fred Thompson come sin 4th in Iowa then he will drop out and this will help Huckabee a lot!

hey tancredo 3.7% not too shabby.
If someone says something bad about you, say something nice about them. That way, both of you would be lying.

I believe the poll. Huckabee has been getting beat up in the media for over a month now and mostly by conservatives. It is disgusting the dishonest way that Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingram have been going after him. Hotair.com, one of the most popular republican sites, have been bashing him daily and its main contributer, allahpundit, has been threatening to start a movement of republicans to stay at home for the election if the GOP nominates Huchabee to get back at Christian Conservatives who threatened to stay home if they nominated a pro-abortion candidate.

I'm actually amazed that he hasn't dropped more.

Last week it emerged that Huckabee had lied on his resume; telling all of his supporters that he had a degree in Theology.

It turns out that he has no such degree, and lied to everyone.

Add this unpardonable character flaw to his record as Arkansas' Governor: "open borders" for all illegal aliens, offering property to the Mexican Government at no charge for the establishment of a Mexican Embassy in Arkansas, and his record of raising taxes, and he more and more begins to resemble the kind of "leader" we currently have occupying the White House.

Most elections of the past have offered candidates from which to choose as "the lesser of two evils", but this election offers "across the board" lack of leadership, lack of character, and untrustworthiness.

I'm of the opinion that be the winner Hillary or one of the Republican candidates, the new President will be Jorge Bush II repackaged.

There is no way that Romney can win. Huckabee will take Iowa by at least 10 points.

He didn't really lie about having a theology degree...he has his BA in religion and three years of a Masters from a Theology Seminary. And all the other major candidates were just as bad, if not worse, on immigration and taxes plus abortion. But they get a pass by conservatives in the media for changing their views but Huckabee gets slammed.

He wasn't being completely honest. He was doing what politicians usually do, which is embellish and fudge the truth.

Yeah alittle bit but is there really much of a difference between the two anyway? What did he gain by saying "theology" instead of "religion." I don't see what the big deal is. I'm more bothered about the way that the press goes after him for a little thing like this and writes headlines as though they've caught him in a big lie.

Huck was pursuing a theology degree, yet dropped out before completing it.

It's true that the conservative media is shilling against Huckabee and biased in favor of the other candidates.  I was watching Hannity & Colmes last night, and they made this big deal about Huckabee's surge supposedly being over, and Sean Hannity was telling Alan Keyes how sincere he thinks Mitt Romney is on all the issues that he's flip flopped on.  It's pretty sick that a group of so-called conservatives would boycott the election if Huckabee gets the nomination.  They have more of a problem with true conservatives seeing that Giuliani is not conservative than they do with Hillary or Obama winning the election.

yeah Romney flip flops on all his issues.

There's a margin of error; it's a statistical tie.  Some polls have one ahead while others have the other ahead.

Thompson is going to be around for South Carolina.  He hoping to win there and then win a lot of the primaries in the southern states.  Huckabee has a chance to win South Carolina.

It's not an attack.  He compared differences in their record such as how Huckabee wanted to give benefits to illegals.

But if the masters degree is in theology, then he told the truth?

I missed the show last night.  What else did they say?
