I understand your point, but I see it a little differently. I think that their supporters are with them because the rhetoric of the other candidates is not aggressive enough on the social issues for which they care the most. Their supporters really don’t care about the other issues as much. If Huckabee or Santorum stray on those, their supporters might not like it, but their fidelity on the core social issues is enough for them to turn their head and ignore their infidelity on some other issues.

In other words, they trust them on the issues that they care about the most. I think that Santorum has earned that trust. Huckabee? I’m not so sure.

“Huckabee and Santorum are appealing to mostly the same voters.”

Is it Santuckabee or Huckatorum?

FRed Thompson defines Huckabee in 2008 S.C. GOP POTUS debate .....

The direction Governor Huckabee would take us in … liberal economic policies … liberal foreign policies … taxpayer funded programs for illegals … that’s not the model of the Reagan coalition, that’s the model of the democratic party.

What's the difference between a guitar player and a bass player?

A guitar player gets students and a bass player gets gigs! :-)

Yeah, anyone who can profit from selling Bible verses to desperate people as a cure for cancer is someone who should be reckoned with. And he will be, eventually.

“Underestimate” can be taken many ways.
