"Huckabee's victory "was evidence of an energized and highly motivated conservative community," Dobson said. "Not bad for a supposed bunch of demoralized, depressed, disillusioned and disengaged Reaganites."

For the reading comprehension challenged.

Dobson is referring to the Evangelicals in Iowa as "reaganites", specifically he is referring to those values voters brought into the country club republican fold by President Reagan.

It is no knock on President Reagan, rather it is a compliment to the wide appeal that President Reagan had, so much so that the term Reagan democrat was born. Reagan democrats were and are values voters.
