The caucus-goers in Iowa have caucused. Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama get the Iowa nod. But Iowa isn’t New Hampshire. Or Florida. Or California. It is but the first in a series of contests the candidates must win in order to capture the presidency and there’s still a long, circuitous trek from the rural roads of Iowa to Pennsylvania Avenue.
Although Huckabee took Iowa, it is not yet clear if he can sustain the momentum he has. He was essentially handed a victory by a large bloc of evangelical voters despite several foreign policy gaffes and revelations of a less than stellar record (conservatively speaking) on illegal immigration, taxes and crime. Mike Huckabee may be able to fool some of the people some of the time, but he certainly can’t fool them all. Voters in states like California are too smart to invest much equity in Huckabee’s House of Baloney. His shenanigans in the run-up to Iowa may work with those predisposed to vote for him already, but not to the general public.
