Casting Stones

I basically agree with David Kuo and Rod Dreher that Huckabee’s victory cannot be dismissed as an evangelical fluke – a la Pat Robertson in 1988. Huckabee’s message and style are just too appealing to evaporate over night. BUT before we get too deep into meta-analysis, we need to remember that an astounding 60% of…

The Iowa caucuses delivered a pair of dramatic upsets as Barack Obama, just three years into his first Senate term, racked up a strong first-place finish while the once seemingly inevitable Hillary Clinton finished third and as Mike Huckabee bested Mitt Romney, a candidate who outspent him four-to-one in the state, in a decisive first…

Huckabee won because he played identity politics. He asked Christians to vote for him because he was a Christian and they did. And I believe it was a huge mistake. Christianity has been co-opted by the Republicans too much already and this just marries the two more closely together and the two do not mix.…

It defines where I work, the friends I have, who I married and the values I cherish. I’m pro-life not because it’s a nice public…

By Mark DeMoss, president of The DeMoss Group and a supporter of Mitt Romney for President I have something in common with Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and, Mike Huckabee—we all claim affiliation with the Southern Baptist Convention, meaning we would all profess to be “born again” Christians. Personal faith has moved front and…

Evidently, he violated gun safety etiquette: Republican Mike Huckabee took his presidential campaign for a quick pheasant-hunting expedition in Iowa on Wednesday, and at one point, a reporter asked why he hadn’t invited sporting enthusiast Dick Cheney along. “Because I want to survive all the way through this,” Huckabee replied, in a chuckling dig at…

And now for some inside baseball about the puzzling question of why the leaders of the religious right aren’t in love with Mike Huckabee. The former Arkansas governor is an ordained Baptist pastor who believes everything in the Bible is literally true; he opposes abortion and doesn’t believe in the theory of evolution–in other words,…
