Reverend Huckabee "rides evangelical wave in Iowa"

Scene from "Jesus Camp"

DES MOINES, Iowa - Republican Mike Huckabee has capitalized on his resume as a Southern Baptist minister and staunch conservative to make a big impression on evangelical Christians and vault to a surprising second place in polls in Iowa — despite little spending and less campaigning than many rivals.

He's gotten their attention. Yet, GOP officials wonder if he's on a path to reprise the 1988 performance of televangelist Pat Robertson, who shocked people with his second-place showing here but never got closer to the White House.

Huckabee's down-home style has proven effective, as has a record that many see as untainted by nuances and switches.

"I honestly feel that he is the one candidate who sincerely believes what he says," said Teresa Garman, of Ames, a retired state legislator and veteran anti-abortion activist who remains undecided. "There is no finger in the wind there."

I just hope religious right wingers have been badly burned enough by Stupid that they won't trust it.

After all, Huckabible will probably be the nominee, but the bloodless corporate monster they put into the #2 slot will really run the country.

You rock :)

:hug:

WE rock, my sister! happy thanksgiving to you!

Mike Huckabee, Our Favorite Right-Wing Nut Job - we should not underestimate this guy. He's the one who could appeal to millions of evangelicals who feel betrayed by the Bushistas.
