do you - or does anyone - know what happened in December that suddenly Huckabee found himself in this position? What happened tht suddenly the Evangelicals were in his camp? His rise from nowhere to winning in IA seemed to happen in a matter of weeks, and I can't figure it out. The only thing I can imagine, and I don't like it one bit, is that he put 'the fear of the Lord' into them that a Mormon might win and they had to get behind him.

We fear the Lord for a lot of reasons, our own sinfulness for one, the abomination of abortion, for another. It's not that we fear Romney or his Mormonism, it's just that we don't trust the former Governor of one of most liberal states. To get where he is, somewhere, sometime, maybe lots of times, he has had to decieve a lot of people. How can we trust him?

That is a very good question- one I’ve been pondering too. One thing is clear- Common Sense PAC was working in Iowa weeks before the caucus- those phone calls must have been effective. The influence of churches is something that I’d like to see looked at as well.
