Huckabee backers visit other camps
Several Huckabee supporters seem to have wandered off from their home base and are checking out the other campaigns before everybody else moves back inside for the results. Outside the Ron Paul tent, Larry Kerkman, a Huckabee supporter, is campaigning for children's rights initiatives.
"The reason we like Huckabee so much is that he has such strong moral values," said Kerkman.
Inside the Ron Paul tent, the heavy traffic from the day has lead to the beverage coolers running dry. Even in the 90-degree heat, Dan Forslund, a Paul supporter who traveled from Indianapolis, is optimistic about his candidate's chances when the results are released in 90 minutes.
"I really like the way that Paul is transparent. Everybody says that their candidate stands for grass roots, but this is the first candidate I have ever seen who actually follows up on that," said Forslund. "Obviously our goal is to finish as high as possible, but I would love to see him finish fourth or higher."
