I know very little about Huckabee. But I saw him on Jay Leno the other night, and he comes across extremely well. I can see very clearly why he will be a huge draw for Christian voters. Also, he has a great sense of humor, and is very sharp in one on one discussions - but sharp without coming across as sharp, if you know what I mean. On the face of it, he seems to be my ideal combination - strong Christian values with care and compassion for the poor.

Excellent. He used to be a Baptist minister, so he's probably not faking his Christianity (you can never prove that someone is doing that but they sometimes make me wonder). He really should be the attractive candidate for the Christian voters. Romney is a Mormon. Thompson used to be a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood. Giuliani is pro-choice. The Christians have nowhere else to go but Huckabee.

He talked a bit about his experience of being a baptist minister. He said that the experience really brought him very close to real life, and the real difficulties that people face.


I have friends who are pastors, and if you do the job properly, you really come in contact with a lot of very difficult and tragic situations.

And yes, before Huckabee came along, I really felt I was in a very difficult place.

Stephen
