Mike Huckabee's dramatic jump in the polls is going nationwide. The former Arkansas governor is in a virtual tie with Republican presidential front-runner Rudy Giuliani in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll out Monday.

Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, is backed by 24 percent of Republican voters nationally while Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, is at 22 percent.

The two-point difference is well within the survey's sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is at 16 percent in the new poll, followed by Sen. John McCain of Arizona at 12 percent, Former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee at 10 percent, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas at 6 percent, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California at 2 percent and Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado at 1 percent.

This is unbelievable. They have nothing but Jesus H. Christ. They suck.

3. Huckabee wants to take the country back for Jesus...

but wasn't Jesus from Bethlehem? and isn't that in the ME.... So does that mean we are warring for Jesus?

[tanyev]

11. Yeah, and he's not even a legal citizen of this country.

[Joe Bacon]

15. HUCK SINN's god is Ayn Rand!

HUCK SINN is your typical Southern Fried Baptist. He bullshits about Jesus but he worships at the altar of Ayn as in Mine Rand.

4. The republicans will start with religion dominating their "issues", i.e. which one

is the most religious and can quote the most bible text, then after the primaries they will go from hatred of immigrants to hatred of gay people to cutting all the taxes and then will finish up with more hate for gay people. Throw in some guns and flags and that about does it for their campaign.

[IsItJustMe]

7. You forgott one more major theme they will use. Fear, Fear, and more fear. Terrism.

[AlinPA]

18. Yes, they have to keep that going, maybe changing colors in their alert a few times.

[Historic NY]

5. I'm rooting for Fred, he is nearly dead.............

We need a DU pool of which Rethug drops out first.

[DLnyc]

10. My vote is Rude-y drops out first

He likes to talk tough, but can't take it once real blows start landing. He'll exit stage right, complaining about the "visciouness" of the attacks against him and his wifey-poo.

8. I believe that the polls

will keep fluctuating the way they are as each candidate comes out with a scandal against the other one. God knows there are enough scandals to last through the general election. None of these ass-bags deserves to even be in the primaries, let alone in the general. The polls will just swing back and forth unless an actual candidate comes out of the woodwork. To me it shows some confusion and a general loss of conservative values. Whatever the hell they are besides treason and theocracy. A general disarray of a rudderless sinking ship with rats scurrying everywhere.

9. What a day this is when Ron Paul is the sanest of the bunch

[jimlup]

12. Not a surprise: Huck will be the nominee

If you've been following. Huckabee is the populist they've been searching for. The answer to the real sleeze of Guiliani. I think Huck will be the repuke nominee.

The repuklian side of this country is so badly confused that Huck looks good to them.

[UnyieldingHierophant]

20. I don't think so, he'll fade*

[roxnev]

13. Birds of a feather

Flock together, In the Republican Party the dumbest is always selected by the dummies. Nion was the only Republican with an IQ over 100

[AndyTiedye]

14. The Repiggies LOVE the Hickabee

He's their kind of guy!

He wants to quarantine HIV+ people.
He pardoned a rapist because her victim was related to Clinton.
He'll do it all for Jeeeeeesus.

He's a shoo-in for the Repiggie nomination!

[TrogL]

16. He's peaking too early

[JCMach1]

17. He is a lightweight, but likeable and can never win the nomination

oh wait, it's the repigs we are talking about! They eat that dumber than thou shit up!

[Apollo11]

19. "Edwards is the only Democrat who beats all four Republicans"

According to this poll

21. Giggly giggliani is not so giggly now

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

22. Oh, God *PLEASE* let them pick him!

Huckabee vs. ANY of our front-runners would be hysterical!

[DavidMS]

23. I don't think it will make much of a diffrence...

Any of their candidates will be roadkill in the general election, provided that we Nominate Edwards or Obama.
