Social Conservatives ARE Fiscal Conservatives

Given the incomprehensible popularity of Huckabee, that's a pretty dubious claim.

I think there are a lot of pro-life and anti-gay folks out there who also are keen on redistributionist taxation, "sticking it to the rich" and their own specific government handouts.

As I have said here a score of times, my state of West Virginia is chock full of the Huck demographic.

Pro-God, pro-coal and oil, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-military.....but also pro-trial lawyer and pro-all the government cheese they can gobble.

So the candidate who will win here is one who pushes all the right moral buttons while at the same time promising to keep the entitlements trough full forever and ever.

And I believe that a lot of those outside my state who repeatedly tell pollsters that they are "conservative" will, when push comes to shove in the voting booth, repeatedly put their social issues aside in favor of government cheese.
