Andrew Sullivan has a terrific recap of the Values Voter straw poll showing that the true winner was Mike Huckabee. It makes sense. Now that Brownback is gone, his supporters are most likely to go with his ideological and theological brother Mike Huckabee than with his very, very distant theological cousin Mitt Romney.

A beautiful tribute to former Steelers head coach Chuck Noll – winner of four Super Bowls. No, he’s not dead, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is doing a history of the Steelers in their 75th year and the tribute is just part of a bigger piece. I wonder how many owners and coaches today have this…

Mitt Romney won the straw poll conducted at Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit with 28 percent of the 5,776 votes cast, just 30 votes ahead of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
