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.

Nor can the nominee win with ONLY them.....

It's also true that no GOP presidential candidate can win without libertarian votes. Libertarians aren't going to vote for Huckabee.

<< Evangelical Christians are getting behind Mike Huckabee >>

This one isn’t. I’m dismayed at how many are.

Trouble is... I know who I’m NOT for, but don’t really know who I’m FOR yet.

Evangelical Christians are not the "base" of the Republican party. Conservatives are the base of the Republican party. Some Evangelical Christians are conservatives, some are not and some are only conservative on a few issues and liberal on others. The fight for the "soul" of the Republican party is the fight for conservatism. Some Evangelicals are on one side, some are on the other.

Of course, the same could be said of any sizeable block of GOP voters.

but no GOP presidential nominee can win next November without them.

And no GOP presidential nominee who supports higher taxes and illegal immigration will ever win next November. I will absolutely not vote republican if Huckabee manages to sneak his way to that nomination.

I guess I am an evangelical Christian and at this point I am evaluating FDT or Hunter.

Huckabee, Rudy, Paul, or Romney means I stay home.

I've never been "evanvelical" in my life and I support Huckabee. I've never lived in the south, never came from a rural background, never joined a Protestant congregation, and yet I'm still with Huckabee on social issues far more than Rudy the liberal, flip-flop Mitt, and "federalist" Fred.

A lot of Illinois freepers are.

So much for the idea that everyone "fears Fred". Now we know which candidate is REALLY "feared" by the powers that be.
