Icon Gene and Ed, don't worry about Huckabee...

Huckabee's best shot in New Hampshire would be to finish third off the bump his Iowa victory gives him. Romney and McCain own that state and Huck is not even on the map so if he gets third it'll be a distant third. Ron Paul may have his big moment in the sun in New Hampshire and get the third place spot though because it seems he's got a lot of support there, it is libertarian central up in Peter's state and they really love Paul.

Last night Romney said "Hey, I finished ahead of McCain, Giuliani, and Thompson and that's all that matters." He wasn't kidding as those are the only real "money" candidates. Romney knows his fight is mainly now going to be with McCain as Rudy slides and Fred begins to consider dropping out. Huckabee is only a concern in the heavy evangelical and born again states, those people are behind him but the neo-cons already are starting to say bad things about ol' Huck and looking for ways to sink him. When your own party is doing that...well...you're done. They are sending him the message they won't nominate him.
