As many of you have stated previously, Mike Huckabee seems like a very decent and friendly person. Despite my personal views towards Mike Huckabee, it does not change my views of the Religious Right and that is quite low, very low.
Although Huckabee "humanised" the face of the Religious Right during his 2008 Presidential campaign by playing down the role of nutters in the faction, the Religious Right, at least in my mind is still best remembered for Pat Robertson's Presidential campaign of 1988 and Jerry Falwell's close connections with the Reagan Administration, which is still vivid in the minds of many. Thus, it is my belief that despite Huckabee's humanisation of the faction during his 2008 Presidential run did nothing to change people's assumptions about it.
