actually the straightline conservatives backed the straightline conservative. Evangelicals backed a pro life liberal who has steadily changed his message as the campaign wore on. Note he hasn’t called opponents to illegal immigration “racists’ since the first debate. He doesn’t mention national bans on smoking but he does talk about states rights. Huck is not now what he was at the first of the campaign but Fred would have been. Now we get the guy who is embarrassed to even bring pro life issues to the floor and one who has more respect for Ted Kennedy than John Cornyn.

I think you post should read “some evangelicals in a couple of states...”

Don’t pin that on all of us. I don’t really think Iowa is a huge bastion of evangelicals(or conservatives), anyway.

Shrug. Contempt for your allies doesn’t win elections.
