No way on EARTH that conservatives can win without social conservatives. And religion is not incompatible with being in college, or at least it should not be. I believe Newman Clubs and other organizations are doing pretty well in many places. Not, certainly, among leftists, but among Young Republicans.
I’d be sorry to lose Little Green Footballs. They have often been useful, and do a lot of good stuff.
As for Huckabee, he is not conservative at all. He’s a snakeoil salesman. I think Evangelicals would have figured that out, eventually, but they tended to take him at his word when he appeared on the national scene.
If fiscal conservatives, constitutional conservatives, and social conservatives can’t work together, then forget it. The conservative movement will be dead. That’s why liberals and the MSM always try to drive wedges between them. Conservatives should not be helping them do that.
This evangelical figured it out before the Iowa vote.
