But now he’s on the no-amnesty/cut taxes bandwagon…he’s totally lost his authenticity.

He should withdraw and back McCain (he hates Romney), thus anointing a putative nominee.

I think you know that your reporting on Huckabee’s speech is spun terribly to make him look worse than he is. Huckabee campaigns well and answers questions clearly when asked, but it is hard to defend himself from all the commentators who slander him. Huckabee does not play up his beginning as a Baptist pastor nearly as much as bloggers and other political junkies do.

So yes, if given the chance, Huckabee could win an election over a Democrat.

I am amazed at the antagonism against Christians on the blogosphere, not only on this site.

Really Ethan–the guy is a social conservative, so things like abortion (and gay marriage, etc) will be clearly attacked as something to change. He, and the position he takes, is actually more mainstream than you give credit for. This is really a non-story. But if you have a personal axe to grind, then anything that sets you off, you’re going to jump on. It’s transparent.

Just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean I say your posting is crapola. So don’t try the same maneuver on Huck. And knock off the “Jesus juice” slams. I don’t go around callings atheists and agnostics a-holes because they don’t have the same world view as I do.

I read The Handmaiden’s Tale too, and let’s just say I could have used it to line my cats’ litterboxes.
