I wish pollsters would poll second choices. I also don't think Huck is going to run. Palin probably will.

I get the same feeling. The Huckabee supporters' 2nd choice is going to be crucial to who gets the R nom.

We're actually covering Huckabee and his involvement in the Maurice Clemmons case in our upcoming production: The New New News: A Living Newspaper. We have a unique and heretofore unreported angle on all this.

Check out here for the press release: http://bit.ly/hfcQB1

We'll be tweeting choice excerpts from the #WAshooting Twitter stream over the next two weeks.

As a Washingtonian I can tell you as a state that flirts with the red side that Huckabee would turn this state neon blue because of the Maurice Clemmons case. Huckabee's pardon of Maurice Clemmons is pretty much the biggest blotch on his career ever and makes by perspective him soft on crime. Let the spin doctors at it and suddenly Huckabee is soft on Immigration/boarder war, ect. ect. Leaps of logic for sure, but Huckabee is coming in as damaged goods vs. 2008.

About the same as the national R primary numbers. Newt is a couple points higher and SP a couple points lower. NJ I don't think is very important in the nomination process, too late.

About the same as the numbers nationally. Palin is a couple points lower and Gingrich a couple points higher.

Too bad none of these have a prayer of winning New Jersey in a general election against Obama...(sorry to all worshippers of the Church of St. Christie.)

Wow. Your ignorance is astounding. You do realize that every state has a primary election, yes?

Yes. All I meant was that it's pretty irrelevant who wins the Republican primary in New Jersey. It's like spending time and money polling the Democratic primary in Oklahoma.

Well... no. You still don't understand. You win a primary and you get delegates, regardless of how blue or red the state is in a general election.
