Iowa – +Huckabee Wins Iowa+

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee won the Iowa Republican caucus on Thursday, surging past better-known rivals to triumph in the first nominating contest of the 2008 U.S. presidential election, U.S. media reported.
The Iowa victory gave Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and ordained Baptist minister, momentum and national credibility for his shoestring campaign as he headed toward the January 8 primary vote in New Hampshire, where polls showed him running a distant third.

Huckabee celebrated his own victory over Mitt Romney and a crowded Republican field. “A new day is needed in American politics, just like a new day is needed in American government,” the former Arkansas governor told cheering supporters. “It starts here, but it doesn’t end here. It goes all the way through the other states and ends at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

Huckabee, a preacher turned politician, handily defeated Romney despite being outspent by millions of dollars and deciding in the campaign’s final days to scrap television commercials that would have assailed the former Massachusetts governor. He stressed his religion to the extent of airing a commercial that described himself as a “Christian leader” in his race against a man seeking to become the first Mormon president.

“Huckabee’s victory rocks an already unpredictable GOP race,” said CBSNews.com senior political editor Vaughn Ververs. “As the race heads to the New Hampshire primary just five days from now it’s not at all certain Huckabee has the time to capitalize on his momentum but John McCain has surged there in recent weeks, setting up a three-way battle that could be a must-win for Romney.”

Nearly complete returns showed Huckabee with 34 percent support, compared with 25 percent for Romney. Former Sen. Fred Thompson and Sen. John McCain battled for third place, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul wound up fifth and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani sixth.
