As the voters in Iowa prepare for their state's caucus, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has set his sights on Mike Huckabee, firing numerous salvos on his history on issues of immigration and taxes. His recent barrage of comparison ads with Huckabee may make some believe that Romney has turned the Iowa election into a two-man race, forgetting about other candidates that may be sneaking up on the two of them.
Latest polls, as posted at usaelectionpolls.com show Huckabee leading in Iowa and from the time he took over the poll lead has been the target of the so-called comparison ads from Romney's camp. Romney could also be taking a big chance in a state known for supporting the target of negative campaign ads, but Huckabee has been answering the ads during campaign stops and stopped short fo airing his own ad that allegedly slammed Romney on a number of issues.
Romney is also facing a challenge in New Hampshire from John McCain, who has snuck up from the near bottom of the ranks to climb within striking distance of Romney in the state's primary election scheduled for January 8. With Romney's top poll post being threatened in two early voting states, his attacks on opponents may escalate in the future.
The Primary 2008 calendar is front loaded with a lot of contest -- most of which Romney was doing well in but has since slipped because of the recent emergence of Huckabee and McCain.
Republican will go to the Iowa Caucus to vote for their favorite candidate with delegates split among the viable candidates and no one candidate will win all of the delegates. There will also be no chance for deal-making for candidates as there is for Democratic hopefuls.
