Though I am unhappy with his treatment of Thompson, I admire some of the man’s works. I mixed him with another who shall go nameless and reacted too quickly. Either way, his analysis is deeply flawed. All Governor Huckabee showed with his win is that if the Democrats could find someone to portray as a believable Christian, that would be all they would need to grab a large chunk of the Christian Right.
No, What governor Huckabee shows with his win is that if the Conservatives don't offer up a practicing Christian, who is involved and impressed by Christian issues, the Christians will go elsewhere.
What would you expect them to do? The only other practicing protestant Christian they could vote for is Duncan Hunter, and he has been stifled to the point of nearly being disappeared. Their support of Huckabee was predictable considering their choices, and the anti-Christian rhetoric in Republican circles.
