I imagine he was ahead all this time..but the MSM wanted to push their choice candidates....Huckabee and McCain because they are afraid of Romney. Since the Iowa caucuses are closely approaching they don’t want to lose their credibility so they post legitimate poll numbers
There is no evidence the MSM ever wanted Huckabee. Huckabee’s rise is due to evangalical Christians who assumed (incorrectly) that because he is a minister, he is conservative. They are only now starting to realize he is to the Left of McCain.
I am afraid of Romney too. Any real conservative should be afraid of Romney.
