How does Huck get himself known and Thompson doesn’t? Is it thru the MSM or thru the churches, or what?

Huck pledged to support a Human Life Amendment. Fred is pro-life, opposes Roe v. Wade, but he didn't suck up to Dobson and pledge to a HLA as the best way to go. Thus the single-issue, mind-numbed Dobson robots dutifully back Huck.

I'm very pro-life, but I also want a man who is conservative on other issues as well.

I think the problem is Fred is the master of the serious thoughtful statement while Huck just overflows with quick sound bite quips. Thus to the barely conscious average voter, Huck appears clever and glib while Fred look dull.

Sad to say but this is really starting to look like an election where imagine is everything and substance is dead.

Well said!

Exactly. I got into a discussion with someone regarding Dobson this week. He was not supporting Fred because Fred blew off Dobson. I mean what are ppl thinking? Huckabee started off strong early with the evangelical voters but I think it has leveled off because of his push pulling and Fred’s strong touring of the state. Yesterday’s talk radio was all about Fred v Huck and why Huck is not the person you want for a president. As the days went by this week, I think ppl changed their minds about Huck. Most Christian voters can see through a “Christian in name only”.
One thing that struck me most this week, was that none of the candidates went to BJU except Ron Paul. BJU has a big voters block in the upstate and not a thing about them in the news. Which tells me the evangelical vote was not behind just one candidate.
