A caucus is a pretty difficult way to tell how much support a candidate really has becaue it is not a simple vote. You go in there are debates and discussions and often times multiple votes so it can end up going to the candidate that has the best group at the caucus and that are the most persuasive. Huckabee's only real support is among the christian conservatives and they are very organized and vocal so they turn up at these things and rally for their guy so it is no surprise to see him win them.
