MIKE HUCKABEE

Can Huckabee Really Be Tied With Rudy Nationally?

If accurate, this is pretty stunning: Rasmussen's daily tracking poll now has Mike Huckabee tying Giuliani nationally for the lead.

I spoke to Rasmussen about Huckabee's rapid rise yesterday, and our chat can be found here. Key quote: "Had anybody else resonated with GOP primary voters, this would have been impossible. What Mike Huckabee is doing is validating the dream of Thompson’s supporters -  that there was a vacuum or void in the race, but Thompson didn’t grab it for whatever reason."

Meanwhile, Team McCain points out that in the RealClearPolitics average, McCain is now number two, by .8 percent over Thompson.
