Huck is a shyster and there are certain "Christian" groups that fall for a dog-and-pony show from a silver-tongued devil every time.
Yeah... enough of them to keep Huck in the running all the way to the final pick. Enough of them to lift him out of the cheap seats and keep him front-and-center ALL BY THEMSELVES.
Too bad your candidate can't convince them to vote your way (up to 60M votes)... Oops! Not gonna happen. Your candidate doesn't support LIFE.
