Huckabee did even better than expected. While Huckabee ran a very skilled campaign in Iowa, part of the reason for Huckabee's success in Iowa is the fact that illegal immigration has not had a major impact on the state (not yet). Romney, who has a lot better immigration record lost but has the resources to stay in the race. Thompson came in 3rd despite the media's cowardly attack on Thompson by reporting a politico.com story and boosting McCamnesty. On Saturday Jan 5th, Wyoming will have it's primary for it's 14 delegates. Due to it's small delegate size and the fact that it is a conservative state, the media will boycott Wyoming and report on the debate for New Hampshire's 12 delegates next Tuesday. Arkansas has 34.
