There is no way anyone named Huckabee will be elected. It's a silly name.

Projected with 25% of precincts reporting.

Remember journalism? That was great.

So was Nagger, but they elected him!

Fark.......

COCKUS

bring 'em on!

I think this was an obvious conclusion to anyone that has been following the election.

Looks like its Huckabee and Obama. Two silly names enter. One silly name leaves.

The fact that this totally derails Willard Romney's campaign makes it all worth it.

I heart huckabee...

meh...

Holy crap. I wasn't sure American's could be so dumb after so many years of Dubya.

Democrats everywhere celebrate an easy win in November.

as a republican, this is a travesty. the man trashed limbaugh. i hope huckabee goes down big. he is no republican and no conservative.

/glad to see thompson pulling third in iowa. go fred.

this bodes well for the democrats

Is this someone whose name I should get to know or will he just fade into nothing like the rest of the loser Republican candidates?

imcguyver: Holy crap. I wasn't sure American's could be so dumb after so many years of Dubya.

Don't misunderestimate.

imcguyver: Holy crap. I wasn't sure American's could be so dumb after so many years of Dubya.

Except Huckabee is completely different from Bush, but don't let that phase your blind partisanship. Keep on fighting.

This dude is a overly-religious world-ignorant moron. The liberals of the U.S. will never let another clown like that get elected.

Huckabee is a joke.

"Holy ________, Batman!"

BYAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Knowing that he won the Iowa primary, this is not a question you should have to ask.

Still better than having them call it with 0% or 1% in.

god help us all

if there is a god then huckabee won't be the nominee in the end, the dems will crush him.

Really? With all the bad press and farkups surrounding Huckabee lately? I'd lose any faith I had in Iowa.

/What very little faith.

Here's the face of the Iowa GOP tonight:

A third are over 65, and nearly 75 percent are over the age of 45... The numbers also show a heavy turnout amongst evangelical Christians - over 60 percent.

the GOP can keep their God, Guns, & Gays platform, have fun being the party of the deep south!

The rest of the nation isn't going to stick around

Believe it or not, Norad, the people that think "overly-religious" is an insult are a minority.

Ron Paul.

I've been calling for Huckabee to win it all since he showed up in early December.

Don't underestimate religious nutbags who think the earth is 4,500 years old.

It's called statistical probability. Once the numerical margins become too great between competing candidates it becomes mathematically impossible to overcome the difference. They've been doing it for years it is very reliable. It's not a perfect analogy, but its the same kind of idea in polling where 1000 or so randomly selected people are good sample size to determine the results among a much larger group.

Primary?

YEEEEEAAARGH!!!

NBC Newschannel confirms it. NBC's breaking into programming at 21:12:33 on the dot to report it.

Wolf Blitzer is saying "A big win" for Huckabee with 25% reporting, 35 to 24... this is insane to be calling it with less then a 10% difference. I guess they just want a call during prime-time.

Am I the only one a little frustrated with the focus they're giving these hayseeds?

/and people are surprised?

Remember statistics? 25% can lead to very accurate predictions

This

Someone post that picture of Huckabee in the striped shirts with his fat sons, one of whom has a propensity for getting arrested. If this is the Republican candidate, the election is already over. Democrats win easily.

Fair Tax NOW!!!

Sonofabiatch. I mean, I didn't know who I wanted to root for in the caucus, but I KNOW I didn't want HIM.

Damnit.

SlothB77: as a republican, this is a travesty. the man trashed limbaugh. i hope huckabee goes down big. he is no republican and no conservative.

Trashing Rush means you are not a Republican or Conservative? Republicans are better off if Rush is not used as a measurement tool or an idol to set your political stances.

I could not address him as Mr. President Huckabee without shooting my drink out of my nose on him.

/President Huckabee, did you like the work of Mark Twain in your youth? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

*yawn* Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Wake me up when this whole idiotic caucus/electoral college thing is finally over and we elect our presidents solely by popular vote. Until then, the entire system is so flawed it's laughable. Republicans are just Democrats with better suits, and Democrats are just Republicans who drive Volvos. fark 'em all.

Huckabee has hit his high water mark and won't be the nominee

Aeonite: There is no way anyone named Huckabee will be elected. It's a silly name.

And Bush isn't?

I apologize in behalf of everyone who had to deal with him as governor...

/hopes Hillary will win
//Huckabee does play a good bass guitar in his defense
///more slashies!!!
