SUMMARY: While discussing the results of the Iowa caucuses, NBC's Tim Russert said the "headline" he would use to describe Mike Huckabee's victory would be about "the Republicans embracing someone whose message was populist, and in terms of foreign policy, anti-George W. Bush." In fact, just two days earlier, Huckabee had said: "I love the president. I've been with him on the war. I've been with him on the surge when Mitt Romney wasn't. So it's absurd to say that I'm against the president."
