Chuck Norris is asking for money on Huckabee's behalf.

"Mike Huckabee is Chuck Norris Approved" -- mmm hmmm, whatever....

the poll numbers i find most interesting are the undecideds and the not-fully decideds, which comprise somewhere between half and four/fifths of "likely" voters, along with the large plurality who've yet to begin paying attention to politics (bless their hearts)

all of which suggests to me that there will be some "surprises" in January.

my best guess is that one of those "surprises" will be the larger-than-expected margin of victory by HRC. (an amalgamation of the efficacy of her campaign, voters longing for 'restoration', and the self-interest of wanting to stop the squabbling asap)

i see the DEM nomination sown up by Valentine's Day and the GOP's by St. Patrick's Day.

then the "real" fun will begin.
