Can You Say, "Death Wish"?

With Huckabee's recent surge in both national and Iowa polling, one can only assume that the Republican Party has a death wish. The man whose politics could easily cause the GOP to find themselves in a long-term minority status. Here are the polls of which I speak:

Des Moines Register Iowa Caucus Poll, conducted Dec, 1st, 2007.

* Mike Huckabee 29%
* Mitt Romney 24%
* Rudy Giuliani 13%
* Fred Thompson 9%
* John McCain 7%
* Ron Paul 7%
* Tom Tancredo 6%
* Undecided 4%

Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

* Mike Huckabee 20%
* Rudy Giuliani 17%
* John McCain 13%
* Mitt Romney 13%
* Fred Thompson 10%
* Ron Paul 7%

If you doubt that a Huck nomination could have such an immense negative impact on the GOP, I strongly recommend reading this, this, this, this, and this.

Also, this site is very enlightening.
