Huckabee 2nd in Values Voter Straw Poll

Via a "special update" text from FRC Action. More to come...

VVS 2010 Presidential Straw Poll RUNNER-UP is Gov. Mike Huckabee - Who will win? Stay tuned...

Update 1: If the winner is Romney, Palin, or Gingrich (or even Santorum), this could be cause for concern. If the winner is Pence or DeMint or someone else, not so much.

Update 2: Mike Pence places first with 24 percent, followed by Huckabee (22 percent), Romney (13 percent), Gingrich (10 percent), and Palin (7 percent). Apart from a win, this is a best case scenario for Governor Huckabee.

Update 3: Pence is a true conservative, but unlikely to run for President in 2012. Hopefully this boosts his chances as future governor of Indiana. For Huckabee, he continues to dominate Romney, Gingrich, and Palin among values voters.

Update 4: My final analysis is that Pence just gave a better speech than Huckabee this year. Mild disappointment for Huckabee. Major disappointment for Palin and Santorum — his biggest challengers for the social conservative vote.

Update 5: Full results, with vote totals here.
