Re: And why not? (none / 1)

Well, Huckabee did try to play the "my God is bigger than his god" card once.

We're once again touching in the "voting is tribal" theme, in this case that the Evangelical Christian base will only come out in support of the Republicans if the nominee is "one of 'them'".

We have met the enemy, and he is us — Pogo

Re: And why not? (none / 0)

Well, to be fair, Huckabee has only won one contest. I have to admit that I'm quite surprised by that. Losing New Hampshire was a given, since New Hampshire Republicans are a little different from South Carolina Republicans, but I think there is some evidence to suggest the Evangelicals vote on a few more things than we commonly believe.

Or maybe they just thought Huckabee couldn't win. Who knows?

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
