I remember in '88, Pat Robertson finished well ahead of George Bush (papa) in Iowa. Thus, Huckabee certainly can't count any chickens right now.

Obama's victory is more significant, I think. Beating Hillary in an open field by 9 points is impressive, and the Clinton camp has to be reeling a little bit. There's a long way to go, but there are a lot of Democrats on the fence across the nation, and if Obama gains and increases momentum, he'll be hard to stop.

His big asset, like Huckabee's, is that he is not a Washington insider. His critics cite a lack of "experience," but frankly, experience hasn't gotten ourselves a lot recently.
