Comments on: Could Huckabee win Iowa? http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/11/15/could-huckabee-win-iowa/ Covering the 2008 election Thu, 08 Jan 2009 01:49:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Mere Orthodoxy » Can Huckabee Win? http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/11/15/could-huckabee-win-iowa/#comment-37422 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 22:39:52 +0000 http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/11/15/could-huckabee-win-iowa/#comment-37422 [...] In addition, it seems clear that the likely voters for Huckabee and Romney are very different.  Romney’s, not surprisingly, are big money folk who will pay for the ads but probably won’t knock on doors.  And if the numbers are right, they’re not as committed to their guy as Huckabee’s people are.  Huckabee’s, on the other hand, are homeschooling types who are devoted to helping him win.  That loyalty translates into an evangelistic zeal that Huckabee’s people have that can go a long ways in a hurry to overcome a weak infrastructure (see, for instance, Huckabee’s web numbers, which are equal to Hillary Clinton’s). In my mind, then, whether Huckabee can win the nomination is still an open question.  What is certain, however, is that if Huckabee does win the nomination, he will have earned it.  But that’s what the process is about, right? Can he win the White House, though?
