Huckabee wouldn't be offensive to the evangelicals who would likely make up a lot of the possible defections to the CP. Huckabee's economic politics might not be completely to conservatives' liking but his pro-life credentials are unquestioned. McCain, likewise, has been a reasonably good ally in most social issues. I don't sense the hardcore animosity toward either of these two among the evangelicals that is seen for Giuliani or Romney.
thats the problem, two tick off the religious base and the other two are open border loons. I don’t see any way the party will come together with any of these four and am still holding out for an open convention. If Feb 5th breaks right.....there is a good chance.
