Opinion of Evangelicals after Hucakbee

[The Mikado]

I usually don't like pigeonholing large groups of people (though, like everyone, am prone to it occasionally).  I know some really great evangelicals, many of whom are deeply involved in the community and have a self-sacrificing sense toward community service that I can't match.  I don't agree with their religious affiliation.

I, as I have expressed multiple times, really like Mike Huckabee.  He is genuine, charming, and gives off the air that he actually cares about the people at the bottom of our society, people who the Republicans have historically paid lip service to with social issues during campaigns and subsequently ignored while in office.  That being said, he holds a number of opinions that, frankly, terrify me.  He's a good face for the movement because if I was upset when he lost the GOP primary, there were probably a good number of other people unsympathetic to evangelical politics who were charmed by Mike Huckabee's backwoods wit and humor.  He's far more likable than Pat Robertson, and doesn't have the same hateful edge that the late Reverend Falwell (who I'll readily admit was charming in his own way) possessed.
