Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

First Read has a new poll from the Jan. 29 state of Florida that has Mike Huckabee within the margin of Rudy Giuliani:

Giuliani 25%
Huckabee 21%
McCain 15%
Romney 13%
Thompson 10%
Paul 4%

The last poll from Florida was conducted Nov. 7-9 and had Huckabee in fifth with 9% and Giuliani with a commanding lead at 31%. No candidates have spent any significant amount of money there, either on organizing or on television, and not surprisingly the numbers are reflective of the national trend with the exception of Huckabee who has both the Southern and Christian appeal that plays well in Florida.
