Think Ron Paul voters will vote as a block for Huckabee, propelling him into first place?
But not on the first vote. If all and only the Paulites go to to Huck, that would leave him 7% below the win %.
Since McCain brags about being in on the surge from the beginning I wouldn't think that goes over well with Paul supporters.
No, I for one do not think Paulites will move to Suckabee. Why? Because he’s slimy and because of their Evangelical side. I think a lot of Paulites are non-religious as many of them are disgruntled leftists who like Paul’s anti-war position. Others are Independents who switched back to vote in the caucus (as we had to do here in CA in order to vote Repub).
