DES MOINES, Iowa—Mike Huckabee won the 2008 Iowa caucuses. Rick Santorum won the 2012 Iowa caucuses. Both of them are in Des Moines on Saturday for the Iowa Freedom Summit; both are sticking around the Hawkeye State for a few more days of events.
There is no precedent for this. Two caucus victors have never faced off before; Huckabee and Santorum even shared some media handlers in Alice Stewart and Hogan Gidley. (Stewart was staffing Huckabee as he flitted around the summit for interviews.) "They're like two prizefighters," joked Representative Steve King this week, before the summit kicked off.
