The Huckster will probably not get the nomination but his fall is going to hurt the Christian Right political movement big time. Following this guy blindly and not asking questions will set the movement back years if not generations.
***Your presumption is that the Christian Right will follow this guy blindly. I am encouraged by the Huckster’s rise. Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter. And today is the primary in Wyoming. If Hunter does well there, he will have some momentum moving as New Hampshire winds up.

For example, it has been reported that the #1 issue for Republican caucus voters in Iowa was illegals and yet they voted for a open border/total amnesty guy. Sad days ahead if this trend continues.
***Again, I see it exactly the other way. What we have is a large voting bloc that is Pro-Life Evangelicals who are most likely going to be soon disillusioned by their candidate. The only other Pro-Life Evangelical in the race is Duncan Hunter, and he just happens to be the strongest on illegal immigration. I see very happy days ahead if this trend continues.
