National numbers don’t matter a whit at this moment, and you know it. IA is the epicenter. There, Huckabee has leveraged religion to try and beat Romney, from the malicious Satan-and-Jesus-being-brothers question (and don’t try to tell me that was an accident, coming from a Baptist minister) to the harmless cross-over-his-shoulder Christmas commercial. It irks me, but there you have it. We’ll see if the social conservatives in Iowa fall for it.
