...political pros will say Mike Huckabee should have seen the storm coming. This is always how it goes for an underdog candidate who manages to rocket suddenly to the front of the presidential pack. His opponents turn nasty. His press bus fills with predators. And every minor flub shoots through the political heavens like a lightning bolt...

If they temporarily located to another community that has those things, you can't reasonably ask them to give up those things and come back. In a way - and this is an odd silver lining out of a destructive storm that nobody asked for - it allows us to leapfrog and make bigger changes than can be done elsewhere.

The Iowa caucuses almost always produce an interesting tale, but interesting doesn't translate into lasting significance. As Huckabee, a former Baptist preacher and Governor of Arkansas, surges to the front of the Republican field here, the question looms: Which storybook ending lies ahead...
