Opinion of Evangelicals after Hucakbee

[Smid]

As an evangelical conservative, I have at times been disappointed with some people who have been 'spokespeople' for evangelical conservatives. Not that I'm perfect or anything (or necessarily any better than them), but I must admit that Huckabee has regularly made me go "at last, an evangelical conservative in the public eye who isn't doing stupid things that will give us a bad name." I think Huckabee has good values, while at the same time a strong sense of grace (to avoid any possible confusion, I am referring to grace as being non-judgemental, as in Ephesians 2:8&9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.")

Anyway, this isn't a religious arguments thread, and I don't want to hijack it and make it one, so I'll leave it at that, except to say that whereas some of us (meaning evangelical conservatives) forget the "not from yourselves... no one can boast" part, Huckabee strikes me as a humble and genuine man.
