Maybe he really is the Republican Bill Clinton &#8211; the unstoppable and unflappable guy from Hope, Arkansas.<br \/>\nUnique among the candidates, to know him is to like him. The other Republicans don&#8217;t wear that well. One is pretty stiff and the other is fairly grating. Huckabee, however, is someone it is hard not to like even if you don&#8217;t necessarily like his policies.<br \/>\nOn the Democratic side, the story is clearly John Edwards. He refuses to go away and he has a message that hasn&#8217;t changed from the beginning of the race. His populist campaign is on the side of the poor.<br \/>\nThere are still a whole bunch of undecided voters though &#8211; and less than two months till the first votes are cast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps you&#8217;ve seen them already but the new Iowa poll numbers are amazing: Democrats Clinton 25% Edwards 23% Obama 22% Undecided 12% Republicans Romney 27% Huckabee 21% Giuliani 15% Undecided 14% Huckabee&#8217;s rise has been extraordinary.
