No kidding. I completely agree with you. If Huckabee wins Iowa, Mitt is finished but at the same time Hilary is GUARANTEED to win the election since the vast majority of Americans will shudder in fear at the thought of a Southern Baptist MINISTER as POTUS.

Time to head for the hills and stock up in the cabin.

I agree with the assertion, though not the premise. I don’t think any many people would be worried about a Baptist president - once we get past the primaries, religion will mostly fade as an issue, regardless of the nominee. Problem is, Huckabee’s not that great a politician. Like Thompson, his meteoric rise is due to buzz and frustration amongst conservatives - his rise just happens to be timed much better.

But Huckabee is not a great conservative, great orator, or great leader. He’s good at one-liners and zings, and he’s good on life issues. That’s about it.

And that’s why he would lose against Hillary Clinton.
