Well, let’s be fair. The GOP presented evangelicals an openly pro-abortion frontrunner. It’s unsurprising that the equal and opposite reaction is someone like Huckabee.

If Huck is the nominee, unfortunately I will have to go third party. But I’m not going to blame folks whom the GOP backed into a corner.

If Huckabee is the nominee, and especially if Huckabee were to win in the general, Ed Rollins will have been proved right about the Reagan coalition being dead.

Precisely true.

Hat tip.

Huck can't win the nomination anymore than Fred can. The two will split the Conservatives. That doesn't mean Reagan Conservatism is dead, it only means that the factions thereof are not willing to work together, and the blame can be laid at the feet of ALL. What is inevitable at that point is a Romney or Giuliani nomination.

Ellery, your position is a well considered one, and I thank you for your post.
