...weeks, Huckabee sustained an intense onslaught of negative attacks from Romney, both on television and in mailings. But in the end, entrance polls suggested that the attacks had failed to dent Huckabee's golden-boy image. But as he moves forward he may look back on his Iowa experience as a springtime walk through knee-high corn. By winning Iowa, he only temporarily defeated Romney, and in the process he gained new rivals, in John McCain and, perhaps, Rudy Giuliani.

For Huckabee, the test has become whether he can follow a political, instead of a religious, golden rule...
