The Germans love David Hasselhoff....

We'll have to wait and see if these numbers are borne out with further polling, but the latest NYTimes/CBS poll shows Huckabee jumping into a strong second in Iowa.

IOWA:

Romney: 27
Huckabee: 21
Giuliani: 15
Thompson: 9
Paul: 4

NEW HAMPSHIRE:

Romney: 34
McCain: 16
Giuliani: 16
Paul: 8
Huckabee: 6

I think we can also see why the Giuliani campaign is trying to downplay the early states, although in all their efforts at spin, they're yet to explain why their candidate is unloved in Iowa, NH, and SC.

(Oh, and because it's almost a non-story at this point, notice where Fred Thompson is.)
