Mike Huckabee has made it into the “top tier” at least in Iowa, to judge by the latest Rasmussen poll of likely Republican voters in the Hawkeye state. Huckabee’s position on Hillary is that he can beat her. During a lunch with 20 or so reporters here in Washington today, Huckabee said, “Assume Hillary is going to be the Democratic nominee, and I do. Of those running for president, Democrat or Republican, no one knows her better than me.” Why is that? “No one else has every really run against her. And in a way I have. I ran against the Clinton machine and political organizations that dominated Arkansas politics all these years. In every election I ever ran in, Clinton has campaigned for my opponent. I won not once, twice, three, but four times. In statewide elections. So [this is] something I’ll bring to this whole race that no one else has.”
