Peggy Noonan in her Opinion Journal article this AM compared Huckabee to Carter, in that he “inspired” the “Christian” vote.

But she also had this to say about Reagan, and how he would fare if he was running in this election cycle where religion seems to have taken a forefront.

“I wonder if our old friend Ronald Reagan could rise in this party, this environment. Not a regular churchgoer, said he experienced God riding his horse at the ranch, divorced, relaxed about the faiths of his friends and aides, or about its absence. He was a believing Christian, but he spent his adulthood in relativist Hollywood, and had a father who belonged to what some saw, and even see, as the Catholic cult. I’m just not sure he’d be pure enough to make it in this party. I’m not sure he’d be considered good enough.”

Peggy Noonan’s political instincts began to fail her in 04, and its getting worse as time progresses.
