Maybe it’s the Chuck Norris factor

Newsweek has a new poll which shows former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with a commanding lead over the other GOP candidates. The magazine says Huckabee now leads former Massachusetts Gov. Romney by a two-to-one margin, 39 percent to 17 percent, among likely GOP caucus-goers. Those Chuck Norris ads must really be working!

The mag's poll says Illinois Sen. Barack Obama "has gained some ground, moving to within a point of Hillary Clinton among all Democratic voters (29 percent vs. 30 percent), with John Edwards in third place at 21 percent."
