Huckabee’s advisors say his campaign is lagging in fundraising and key endorsements because the establishment is power-hungry and calculating.

“They are looking to see who will give them a seat at the table instead of standing up for what’s right,” said Bob Vander Plaats, the campaign’s Iowa chairman.

Huckabee also says the evangelical leadership is out of touch. But he didn’t turn away an endorsement Thursday from an old-guard activist, Donald E. Wildmon, founder of the American Family Assn. in Tupelo, Miss. Though not a household name, Wildmon has considerable clout; his group has a vast mailing list and a proven ability to mobilize Christian conservatives by the hundreds of thousands.

After a standing ovation from more than 100 supporters Thursday in Cedar Rapids, Huckabee said he sensed the evangelical base turning against traditional power brokers. “Our website just lit up with people who said they would take their contributions from [Robertson’s TV ministry] and send them to us,” he said, pumping his fist in the air.

He makes a strong point there. I’m getting interested.

Huckster is the Prolife RINO. It’s better than prochoice RINO but not by much.
