Stop underestimating Huckabee
I think there is something genuinely appealing about Huckabee and I suspect his evangelism is overwrought by his dismissive opponents on both sides of the political aisle.
Huck knows he has strength in the evangelical movement, who were collectively looking for someone to support before Huck came along anyway. As Huckabee gains more national attention, he'll also reduce his religious rhetoric. This is how the republican front-runners have always worked: They draw their street teams from the evangelicals, while drawing money from the fiscal conservatives. The Neocons are too busy earning money on Wall Street to waste time canvassing on the street or manning phones for their favourite candidates.
Bill Clinton said Huckabee is a serious contender, and his opponents should take note. I think we all should.
