Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

First Read has a new Iowa poll:

Huckabee 28%
Romney 25%
Thompson 10%
McCain 9%
Paul 6%
Giuliani 6%

This poll brings good and bad news for Huckabee. His astronomical lead wasn't bound to last and in some sense was actually hurting him because it heightened the scrutiny he was getting and raised his expectations. It also led Mitt Romney to go negative against him. Now that his numbers have come down, so have his expectations.
