Mitt Romney Who? As Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul Excel in PollsRecent independent polls are now showing Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney falling out of favor with the populace while both Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul gain ground.
Huckabee may still be listed around 50/1 odds of becoming the next US President at most online gambling locales but he is starting to show signs of life at the polls.
AOL Wire Services have Mike Huckabee with 11 percent and leapfrogging over Mitt Romney (the supposed front runner along side Rudy Giuliani). That same poll had Giuliani forging an even bigger lead of 14 points past Fred Thompson.
The AOL.com poll, which surveys the site's users, had Rudy Giuliani with 23% of votes, Mike Huckabee with 20% of votes, Ron Paul with 16% of votes and Fred Thompson with 15%. Mitt Romney failed to make the top 4.
Interestingly enough, the AOL Wire Service report makes no mention of Ron Paul. It seems they practically go out of their way not to mention him despite that strong belief from his supporters that a December 16 "money bomb" will help propel the 2007 US Presidential candidate past a targeted $12 mil in funds raised during the 4th quarter (that will likely be more money than any other candidate including Hillary Clinton). Ron Paul was already closing in on the $9 mil mark by this weekend.

Ron Paul isn't that scary (It's that over-do-gooder Mike Huckabee who should be making conservatives nervous.)
