GOP side: Huckabee 39%, Romney 17%, Thompson 10%, everybody else single digits.
Democratic side: Clinton 30%, Obama 29%, Edwards 18%. (Edwards has an "internal poll" which, they say, puts Clinton at 27%, Edwards 24%, and Obama 22%.) It looks like the Democratic race is a three-way deal and will stay that way.
On the Republican side, Huckabee will try to solidify his support among social conservatives. If he does, where does Romney go for votes? Thompson is going nowhere. Giuliani is toast. That leaves...John McCain to challenge Huckabee?
Yeah, McCain might just be the Comeback Kid. Wonder if Huckabee's travesty of justice while guv of Ark. will mean much to the GOP base.

It won't. They'll even like it. But the rest of the GOP--the fiscal conservatives, especially--don't think too much of Huckabee.
