Huckabee sows seeds to steal Michigan from Romney

Meanwhile, his rival Mitt Romney -- who announced after his second-place New Hampshire showing that Michigan was his top priority -- has run nearly $3 million dollars worth of television ads in Michigan.

Huckabee's been riding a months-long wave of good news in Michigan. Just before Labor Day, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers made him their pick in his party's presidential primary -- a rare nod to a GOP candidate that might not mean much in other Republican contests, but carries some weight in this heavily unionized state.

But as in Iowa, the biggest secret to Huckabee's Michigan success seems to be his depth of support among evangelical Christians. Typically, somewhere between one-fifth and one-third of Michigan's Republican primary voters are self-identified evangelicals. A few weeks ago, a Detroit News survey found that number may be as high as 40 percent this year.

"We don't have to persuade them to vote, we just have to get them to turn up," Glenn said Thursday, pointing to their Iowa counterparts' role in Huckabee's victory there. "Why mess with a winning formula?"

...Well, there is always truth to the fact that when u have an advantage over someone dealing with money, you most likely will get further. It's a shame to say, but apparently some of the other candidates have spent more on the campaign than Huckabee has but in this case, that obviously doesn't make a difference. If you can get the people to believe in you and your cause then all the money in the world would not make a difference. In my opinion, campaigning should not be a competition of who can create the most adds, it should be about who can make the biggest difference.
