Mike Huckabee defeated Mitt Romney in Iowa with a commanding lead this evening, as we predicted weeks ago. Even up until the final moments, pundits predicted a virtual toss-up between Huckabee and Romney.
What we all witnessed this evening is only the beginning of Huckabee defying expectations. I’m willing to wager he places in the top 2 slots in New Hampshire. Why?
Drudge and Huffington linked a story about the media’s increased coverage of the 2008 race. The exposure level of candidates is higher than it’s been in the last four elections combined. The same phenomenon that fueled John Kerry’s ascension in 2004 is larger and louder in ‘08.
The first domino just fell. Obama will be the nominee. And barring any major hiccups in his operation, Huckabee will be as well.
