...Iowa, fueled by fast food and a few hours of sleep, Willie Lomaning to groups of 20, selling them on how to make our country better. You have to be real close, however, to see this nobility.

His steady, good-humored performances in televised debates gradually lifted him out of the second tier and helped smother his main rival for evangelical affections, Sam Brownback of Kansas. Meanwhile, Huckabee has never lost sight of the core fact of the Iowa caucuses: turnout is minuscule. Because of inconvenient scheduling (on a school night and opposite the Orange Bowl this year) and arcane rules for voting...
