Edit: I'm sorry... We need to get all non-evangelicals out to vote. Unfortuantely, that effort might begin to look like a second "civil war"... The country is still so divided. The divide was totally exploited and played very well by the Bush/Rove admin, tho...

We still don't know WHY the neocons are so anti-Huck...

On The Bishop...

But then along comes Huckabee. He isn't just pandering to the religious right. He's a charter member, a Baptist preacher from the Bible Belt. His sudden rise in the polls has given Christian voters something to smile about.

At the same time, the party bigwigs are having fits about Huckabee.

Here's what Rush Limbaugh had to say: "Huckabee's radical candidacy broadly repudiates core Republican policies such as free trade, low taxes, the essential legitimacy of America's corporate entities and the market system allocating wealth and opportunity." That's pretty harsh, even for Limbaugh.

As his numbers kept rising, then the knives really came out and conservative pundits started criticizing Huckabee for being "overtly religious," something that never bothered them before about any GOP candidate.
