8:42 PM: Rollins credits "power of messenger" for delivering Huckabee victory

Fox News' Chris Wallace interviewed top Huckabee aide Ed Rollins on the campaign's victory in Iowa.

"I think it's the power of the message, but more important the power of the messenger," Rollins said of the upstart campaign's victory. He also appealed for new supporters, volunteers, and financial donors to help the campaign "go all the way."

"This is a chance to make history," Rollins said. "This is a great, great candidate."

Rollins said reports quoting him saying he would like to "knock (Mitt Romney's) teeth out" were taken out of context, though he added he was a boxer 40 years ago.
