Huckmentum

Fundamentalist Right Wing Blowhard (Huckabee) is catching Cultist Right Wing Vascillator (Romney) in the new Iowa polls. Now, as Josh Marshall points out, this is a potential disaster for the Romney campaign what with the amount of money, time and effort he and his boys have put into Iowa and New Hampshire. If Romney struggles out of the gate in Iowa his momentum going into NH is basically shot and he will have to spend another boat load of his own money to right the teetering ship.

How does this play out for the other candidates? Rudy has all but given up on Iowa and New Hampshire, McCain may salvage something if only his pride with a third place finish and Hollywood Fred, well, quite frankly, is beyond help.

I don't see this as good news for Rudy though, he really doesn't need a real live fundamentalist nutjob gaining momentum going in to the states where Rudy really needs to win and win big, it will only highlight his rather dubious - I'm being kind - credentials when it comes to that score.
