if huckabee's christmas ad indeed contained a planted crossing it, it was unlikely that huckabee meant anything more by it than an expression of his question faith, but mormon viewers were convinced the cross , especially coming from huckabee was unintentional anti- mormon gesture. leaders of the lds church surprisingly remained mute on the cross controversy. romney's presence in that race met officials were particularly committed to appear neutral during the campaign season, but that mormon blog sphere corrupted with chatter over huckabee's anti- mormon christmas at. as one blogger from utah broke, huckabee commercial with its anti- mormon cross was quote just the latest of his stunts to try to convince the voting populace that meant romney is a member of the. the huckabee offered the most socially conservative position of the major republican candidates for the 2008, election. physicians that marked him clearly to the right of meant romney and aligned huckabee more closely with most mormons politically. mormons resisted supporting huckabee not only because of strong allegiances they

showings in iowa, you were expecting huckabee who did well there before, if they did not do well, then they really had no way out of there. rand paul, certainly a lot of people here who are supporters of his, die hard supporters of his are disappointed. we'll see even more after this contest, because who will have the momentum to move forward. who will have the money to move forward. >> santorum will endorse the guy you're covering. >> they're on fox at the same time tonight. >> another rumor that huckabee was going to do it, that's why donald trump -- >> that is not happening, according to my information. >> by huckabee. >> we don't know. we were told by people in the know, there was no reason -- >> huckabee ditch him at the alter. >> he could have. >> holy marriage. >> i think if donald trump won iowa, maybe we would have seen huckabee. >> it looks like santorum is going to. those are the two guys that showed up at the rally for the veterans. jeremy, what do you think about these four guys, circular firing squad. only one will get out.

had huckabee stopped there his comment would have likely attracted no attention. it was a doubt claim that he would have encountered baptist teachings about mormonism in various spots of his teachings including seminary. as one baptist pastor from north carolina reported part of this training for the ministry involved studying mormonism is a course called cults and false religions. it was likely huckabee did the same and if he had not it would have been impossible to miss the an anti-mormon statements at the conventions throughout the years. huckabee delivered the keynote speech at the animal meeting in 1998 in salt lake city which focused on educating people about the false representation of mormonism. >> >> he including a passage from an early is certain to describe them as the mighty lucifer is the brother of jesus. all the controversy hurt huckabee reputation with the evangelical voters that dominated the republican party he pulled the upset victory in the iowa caucus. but his aspirations grew dim but john mccain took the nomination this negligence of the rela

governor huckabee, in 2008 you won by 9 points here. but this time your support seems to be going to senator ted cruz and donald trump. why, governor, is your message not working this time? >> i don't think it's that the message isn't working. i think the message isn't getting out because the message that i have this time, bill, is exactly what i said eight years ago a. i talked about how people standing on their feet on factory floors. people who lift heavy things, who sweat through their clothes are getting gut-punched. they are not having a fair shake in this economy. i talked about that eight years ago. and i'm talking about it now. i talked about the importance of preserving life. i have not just saying that we're going to defund planned parenthood but let's do something bolder. let's get rid of abortion once and for all by applying the fifth and 14th amendment to every person from conception. because that means that we recognize that no person can be deprived of life or liberty, unless they have due process. and that's not happeni

mike huckabee was the republican's choice. but it was senator john mccain who lost to obama. and 2012... former pennsylvania senator rick santorum finished above mitt romney. but it was romney who went on to lose to president obama after santorum later dropped out of the race. 3 as you can see... winning the of getting your party's nomination.... or winning the white house. 3 picking a favorite candidate isn't the only thing people will do at tomorrow (monday) night's caucuses. *after* the vote is taken... they'll move on to the "platform" phase of the caucus.the "platform" or "plank" is best described as what the republican or democratic party should stand for. what ideas or goals do they want their elected officials to strive for? they can be very different from caucus to caucus... and party to party. the head of iowa's democratic party feels there are a number of issues that could be debated. 3 "college affordability seems to be something on a lot of people's minds. and i know all of the candidates are taking about that. in iowa we have a higher college debt to our populat

after iowa, good-bye, mike huckabee. poof. today it was slightly more surprising news when we learned that we would also get to poof rand paul. it's interesting rand paul quit today because rand paul is not actually doing terribly in the grand scheme of things, at least he wasn't before he quit today. he's not doing well, but he wasn't actively on fire like mike huckabee was. for example, in this new ppp poll that we just got tonight, this exclusive poll that we got, first national poll taken since the iowa caucuses, rand paul comes in in that poll at 5%. not good. but it ties him for fifth place with john kasich and jeb bush. puts him well ahead of chris christie and carly fiorina and they're not quitting. but rand paul is quitting. one other reason it's surprising that rand paul is quitting is that he didn't do that badly specifically in iowa. rand paul got about 4.5% of the vote in iowa. that was good enough for a solo fifth-place finish. his campaign had said ahead of iowa that a top-five finish is all they were aiming for

he's a comedian -- from new york -- on the road stumping for huckabee.

carly fiorina, and john kasich, mike huckabee and chris christie got 1%. cruz finished with eight delegates. rubio and trump with seven apiece. and ted cruz put his campaign into overdrive in the final hours before the caucuses. completing a tour of iowa's 99 counties. what is known in this state as the full grassley. along with the voter outreach operation that paid off. cruz won among voters who said they were contacted on behalf of a candidate. and those who had caucused before. it also found cruz captured influential voting blocks including 44% of self-described very conservative voters. 34% of evangelicals. 38% of those who say they wanted a candidate who shares their values. here's cruz thanking his supporters last night with some subtle digs at donald trump. >> tonight is a victory for the grass roots. to put in perspective, your incredible victory that you have won tonight. that is the most votes ever cast for any republican primary winner. tonight is a victory for millions of americans. who have shouldered the burden of seven years of washington d

he's a comedian -- from new york -- on the road stumping for huckabee.

"i admire the people here. i admire that they can't be yes, he was kidding about new york, but was serious when he called iowa, the "true america." he's anxious to see how things end. we've got you covered in des moines, jerry gallagher kwwl news. we'll be catching up with jerry a few times this hour -- so stay tuned for more reports about the atmosphere going into tonights first in the nation caucuses. kwwl's amanda goodman is also a part of our team covering the caucuses in des moines. yesterday, amanda caught up with nbc nightly news anchor lester holt. he and his team are also covering the caucuses live from iowa. holt says this year's election season has been full of donald trump...bernie sanders, a novelty candidate now is neck and neck...quite like this one." the today show crew is also in iowa

mike huckabee, a past winner, 2008, 2%. rick santorum at the bottom of the pack, this is a three-man race without a doubt, a very competitive race. let's just check, the biggest basket of polk county, 23% of the vote still to come in. can rubio make up some gains? he's doing well in scott county, all of the votes almost counted. just about 10% to go here. that was mitt romney country four years ago. the fact that they're splitting the vote right there, is one of the reasons we have a strong competitive race. there were a couple counties early on that ben carson was leading. this could influence the statewide results. again, the big conversation tonight among the other campaigns is, he's underperforming and does that give you the scent of blood, if you will. >> ted cruz had an excellent ground game, an operation in place that perhaps donald trump didn't have. >> they did it the traditional way. >> let's look at the democrats right now. 50% for hillary clinton, 49% for bernie sanders. >> it's espresso time. the comfort zone f

santorum got less than mike huckabee. huckabee already dropped out. i think santorum will drop out. carly fiorina, john kasich, jeb bush rand paul all of them combined got less votes than ted cruz. all of them combined got less votes than marco rubio and donald trump as well. looks like rubio cruz and trump have the big momentum. marco rubio will get the endorsement from the senator from south carolina. there isn't a lot of reason. the abc news scrapped the under c card debate. they won't get the tv exposure. >> also the question where will all of the money go. the time now is about 18 minutes after the top of the hour. on the road again. >> the sunrises tomorrow. this campaign will take the next step. >> the candidates are off to new hampshire. which states are key to the nomination? we are mapping it out for you. avo: when laquinta.com sends craig wilson a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what he becomes? client: great proposal! let's talk more over golf. craig: great. client: how about over tennis craig: even better. avo: a game changer! avo: the ready fo

if huckabee, i was up with huckabee up here last weekend in winnebago county. 18 people in the room. depressing for a candidate who once won the state if huckabee, santorum and carson can drain evangelical votes from ted cruz and keep his margins down and donald trump can do on the population centers, candidates way down ballot could have a huge impact on the guys up top. >> a lot it watch for. >> unlike the democratic caucuses, there isn't a second-choice option. it's not as if you have a second vote. this purely drains votes from probably from cruz all of these evangelical candidates, they're not going to reorganize and support cruz as a second choice, you have do have the option in a democratic caucus. >> we have more to talk about over the next 90 minutes, focusing on the iowa caucuses. >>> digging deeper into the democratic battle. it was epic. i can't believe i got it. that's my boy. woah! look! that's my boy. you're proud to give each other your best every day. and at banquet, we want to give you our best. that's why we're adding 20% more chicken to our chicken pot pies with g

governor huckabee -- governor huckabee's speaker will be justin young.

but what really happens, iowa puts and tend to some campaigns. huckabee and martin omalley. we may see more before the morning comes. and as we're talking, we're hearing the republican party chairman here making announcements here tonight. congratulating ted cruz with his win. there's still a lot more to come. even though most of those numbers have come in and watch this race. this raiser thin margin between clinton and sanders. >> all right. thank you so much. we are already starting to hear from some of the candidates. >> we are waiting to hear from ted cruz at this point. but we did hear from donald trump a few moments ago. >> do not go to iowa. you could never finish even in the top ten. and i said, but i have friends in iowa. i know a lot of people in iowa. i think they'll really like me. let's give it a shot. they said don't do it. i said i have to do it and we finished second. i'm just honored. i'm really honored and i want to congratulate ted and all of the incredible candidates including mike huckabee who's become a really good friend of mine. so congratulations to
