Evangelical Christians are getting behind Mike Huckabee. The truth is they are base of the Republican Party. A lot of people don't like em but no GOP presidential nominee can win next November without them.
It's also true that no GOP presidential candidate can win without libertarian votes. Libertarians aren't going to vote for Huckabee.

I think its overrated. Bush won the libertarian leaning Mountain West twice. Huckabee could be in jeopardy only if he does not push a small government message there. I don't think Hillary has much traction this far West.

Must be big fans of the IRS then, since Huckabee is the only major GOP candidate to embrace the libertarian ideal of abolishing the IRS and doing away with the income tax forever.
Of course I expect the usual set of libertarians will denounce him for not wanting to legalize crack, and hence the "purist" nominee of the Libertarian Party will get the usual 0.5% of the popular vote.
