Huckabee hoping for Iowa effect in New Hampshire

MIKE HUCKABEE, who won the Republican Iowa caucuses, said he expects the victory to boost his campaign in New Hampshire as voters support candidates who promise change.

“What happened in both parties last night is a real indication of how this country feels: They want change,” said Mr Huckabee. “We’re going to see a major uptick in the poll numbers in the next few days.”

Mr Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor who barely registered in the polls a few months ago, claimed 34% of the Republican vote in Iowa, beating former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, with 25%.
