Huck Amock

Mike Huckabee has hit ten percent in a national poll, an accomplishment that a Corner correspondent puts in perspective:

I mean, he’s spent less than $2 million, compared to Romney’s $52 million, and is only 2% behind him in the national poll, and only 7 % behind him in Iowa, according to Rasmussen.

As if to solidify his status as a front(ish)-runner, I’m told he and McCain have agreed to share the stage (rather than go one after the other) at the AARP “forum” in Souix City tonight. (No other candidate agreed to participate.) There likely won’t be fireworks, a la the last Republican debate, but there might actually be discussion of issues. The webcast is available here.

But in two narrow, largely symbolic victories on Saturday, Romney reclaimed the headlines. Never mind the details. He was winning again.
