Does Iowa ♥ Huckabee?

The Iowa caucus is just a month away, and the race is as close as could be.

ABC News and Washington Post released the latest poll out of Iowa. Check out the surprising results:

Some noteworthy trends:

- Obama gains ground as Hilary slips. Many commentators are blaming Hilary's lackluster response to a question about Governor Spitzer's illegal immigrant driver's license proposal in a recent debate. She was also caught planting "easy" questions during a Q&A session, leading many to accuse her of being unforthcoming and manipulative.

-Democrats seem to value "new ideas" over "experience," but Republicans feel the exact opposite. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

-Mike Huckabee (the only evangelial leading the Republicans) has gained ground, whereas Giuliani --the National frontrunner -- hasn't invested ANY campaign time or money into the caucus. Is he already predicting a loss? Maybe he assumes 2nd amendment loving Iowans wont approve of his gun-control past.
