The point of this post was to simply shed light on a perceived let up in Huckabee's momentum. The events of the past week that included his highly reported decision not run the ad attacking Romney (and then showing it to the press anyway) led to a jump in Huckabee's attention. Also, here is the monthly site traffic for Huckabee, McCain and Romney through December. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mikehuckabee.com+johnmccain.com+mittromney.com/?metric=uv @Casey-

Perhaps his target audience isn't the same audience that visits his website. I often check out websites of politicians that I have no intention of voting for. That being said, I think the Iowa caucuses are just the beginning of what will be a very interesting race. My eye's on the Democratic ticket (and, truth be told, always has been), and I can hardly wait until the general elections!

Except for websites about Reindeer and other seasonal things. Yes, his timing wasn't ideal. You win an election based on what people think on Election Day -- not on what people think two weeks earlier or three days later. I've been involved in many vicious local and state elections where last-minute moves made a decisive difference. Although I'm a bit left-leaning, I had a positive impression of Huckabee a year ago -- based on his record, he was a moderate Republican who was effective at working across the aisle. Like Al Gore, he's shown some leadership an issue that politicians have been sweeping under the rug (obesity.) Once he got some media attention, he started foaming at the mouth like a right-wing lunatic, just like all of the other republican candidates... And like all the others, America has turned its back on him. The war, health care, global warming, product safety, and the failure to secure our homeland in New Orleans all point to a political shift to the left... America doesn't need this BS anymore.

As for online support, I think the extra attention he's getting te last few days is because o the wall to wall coverage of his 'withdrawn' ad against Romney.
