You are totally right regarding your statement that indicates different people are drawn to Huckabee than to Palin. Sarah doesn’t try to BS people about her faith like Mike and she is a much more conservative than he ever has been.
The Huck has never been anything but a snake oil salesman. He was a lousy Governor in AR and raised taxes there significantly.
I have many inlaws there in AR who couldn’t stand him anymore than they could the Clintons when Bill was Gov. and throwing all the wild parties at the Gov. palace in LR, with people passing out on the grounds around the place and the loud music. ....Not saying Huck was just like Clinton relative to life style, but that he governed the State in a similar manner... as a liberal.
McCain benefits the most. After all, that is who the exit polls showed he drew the most votes from in the primaries last time.
And the Evangelicals seem to like that quality in their leaders and Pastors.
