DES MOINES - Underdog Mike Huckabee, the former Governor of Arkansas, capped a stunning political rise to beat Republican rival Mitt Romney in tonight's Iowa caucuses. But that's not the only surprise Huckabee got. Minutes after he was declared the victor, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears declared Huckabee the "winner" in her baby pool by naming him the child's father. Spears reportedly was set to name Barack Obama but decided "nobody would buy that."
A spokesman for Huckabee's campaign said that the news is "a mixed bag" because if paternity tests proved Huckabee is the father of Spears' baby, his poll numbers would probably rise in Arkansas, West Virginia and Louisiana, but could suffer nationwide.
