"Of course Mike Huckabee can win the Republican nomination. I dismissed the possibility a few weeks ago by saying he had no 'path to the nomination,' and I was foolish to do so."

More and more people are being convinced that Huckabee is not just a popular sensation, but a real contender for the republican nomination. It is very interesting to notice that while the media and political strategists attempt to downplay the Huckabee surge as a factor in his likelihood of winning the nomination, his actual opponents display mannerisms of anything but disregard for his legitimacy.

Both Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson have targeted Huckabee with quite a bit of attention, including verbal comments, mailings, and even expensive television ads. It is hard to imagine them wasting time and resources on Huckabee if they did not consider him a real threat to the success of their campaigns.
