Campaigns often talk about "winning" the day or winning the news cycle. There's little doubt Huckabee came out on top in the last 24 hours. When your opponents' endorsers are swooning over your, not his, ad it's been a good day. Huckabee wins the battle of the ads among conservative commentators and MSM analysts kvell. Meanwhile, Romney is finding coverage rougher and is pulling a page from the playbook of the Clinton( Bill's and now Hillary's) -- getting misty eyed. ( I'd get misty eyed too if I spent $8M, or whatever the total is up to now, to find myself trailing Huckabee and hearing footsteps from Thompson.)

UPDATE: It really must be part of a new Iowa former frontrunner routine?
