Best concise description of Huckleberry yet. Thing is, how long will
it take the more moderate churchers to figure out that he's just "more
of the same" as Dubya?

They know that. That's why they like him. snip

The righttards in trailers, yes...but the ones closer to the political
center, the "mainline" congregations, have been vehemently opposed to
the war and all of Bush's antics for quite some time. Many of these
(such as well-off Episcopalians and the like) went for Bush based on
greed two times. Will they make the same choice with Huckabee, even
though he's got no credible record of prosperity (AND isn't the rabid
tax cutter that such a constituency wants) when they have Mitt to
promise them all that business acumen (warranted or not) to keep them
rolling in dough? Downscale economically,
rightward-learning-but-still centrist church goers may perceive
Huckabee as a threat launched from the Southern Baptists. You
watch...those Congregationalists and Episcopalians in New Hampshire
will have NOTHING to do with Huckabee, even if he floods the state
with robotic church nuts to walk precincts.

On another front, the news was all over the nation's front pages this
morning...we're poised for the FOURTH "Dubya Recession"...prime
mortgages are melting down, employment is drying up, the dollars is
sliding further, aided by the Chinese. All of the sudden, I hear,
"It's the economy, stupid!" which kicked "Bush The Smarter" into the
political scrap heap in '92. Could this be the remodeling job that
Clinton needs to beat Obama, or will Iraq and "change" trump the
economic message this time out?
