I think Dr. Paul is largel a nutcase, but my take on this topic relating to his most recent comments may be a bit more intuitive.

Paul is referencing the so called "Huckaboom" that is being largely fueled by the MSM. But it's not all the MSM. Huckabee has become skilled in the use of populism to get elected. He did it in Arkansas under my watchful gaze and I know him like a favorite book.

I see the Christian right, with the notable exception of Arkansas residents flocking to Huck like some sort of Conservative savior. It's actually pretty horrifying to watch. It reminds me of the mental picture I have of lemmings falling off a cliff.

I would suggest that those many folks who have suddenly switched their candidate list around and put Huckabee to the top of it to poll the Arkansas residents on this forum before they make a fatal error. It could be said that the error is not the first related to Arkansas.

Dr. Paul is pointing the finger at blind allegiances formed by like minded Christians in the political realm. They tend to identify with words and ignore deeds, often following blindly.

Dr. Paul sees this and as crazy as he is, he does have a valid point.

I think this is a fictitious media creation, much like the Dean explosion, which we all know retrospectively was simply an imminent implosion.

There might be a large backlash against Romney in Iowa because of his LDS ties, but the notion that Iowa Republicans-who care more about securing our borders than any group of voters-are going to fall in lock step behind Suckabee because forty percent of them are evangelicals is a bit absurd.

Watch as the Thompson numbers tick up in the wake of Rep. Steve King's endorsement.
