*PUNDITS SHOULD BEWARE MAKING PREDICTIONS ABOUT HUCKABEE, OR HE JUST MIGHT WIND UP PRESIDENT...*
It's interesting how many intelligent people keep calling the Republican race. I hate to state the obvious, but the current obvious trends in the race say NOTHING about what it might be in a week...a month....six months.
Romnney says "Facts are persistent." Here's one. Nationally, Romney and Huckabee are tied in a statistical dead heat.
Here's another. Delegate counts have Romney and Huckabee in a relatively tight race---considering only 8% of the delegates are in and Huckabee stands to do VERY WELL Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Missouri, and West Virginia.
Take Fox News for example. If Fox is still doing journalism, 'balance' and 'fairness' would require them to at least admit these facts.
No wild-eyed rants, just a sober prediction. Fox has been calling the race all year--first for Guliani, then for Thompson, now for McCain/Romney. Fox has tended to be wrong. I wonder if there is a trend no one's noticing. Is it possible that Fox's attempts to sway the race are backfiring, as viewers sense in each case--Guliani, Thompson, Romney, McCain-- that Fox is stepping a bit beyond journalistic integrity?
If that is the actual trend---Fox keeps calling the race, voters decide to prove them wrong---they might want to sit up and take notice, or they might just "predict" Mike Huckabee right into the White House.
Not that this would be a bad thing--as an Arkansas Reagan-Limbaugh-Huckabee conservative, I know which Republican turned Arkansas around after years of the Clintons running our state into the ground. The USA could use the same kind of turnaround.
