"If that were true, then he would be leading. He isn’t, because the practical Republicans don’t think he can win in November either."

No. The truth is that the pro-aborts want to throw the pro-life agenda off of the train, and expect us pro-lifers to stay on and shovel coal. It ain’t gonna happen.

Also, bear in mind that there are five or six candidates running for the GOP nomination. It's not over by a longshot.

For the most part, this Huckabee thing is a lot of statistical noise. It will disapear when the evangelicals get the news that there are a few other pro-life candidates.

A few radicals might. But they're stupid, because they need the social conservatives just as much as the social conservatives need the moderates.

If they don't, then they're electing a pro-abortion Democrat, who will nomonate from a pool of pro-abortion Democrat judges, and hire a fleet of pro-abortion bureaucrats.

The corelary of the above is that the social conservatives need the moderates. If they dig in their heels for Huck, then they lose when the party loses.

The first priority must be victory in November. It's much easier to influence a president of your own party that needs all of the base, than influence a president of the other party that doesn't. Getting at least some of the qualities in a president you want is better than getting none.
