I've already gone on record to say I believe possibly the presidential election could come down to Huckabee vs Hillary. Of course we still have a ways to go and time will surely tell. I think he's the GOP's only hopeful. My opinion.
At the Values Voter Summit in Washington DC a week or so ago Huckabee came out strong and was received as such. His speech was interrupted at least 20 times with applause and had at least a dozen or so standing ovations. He also won, by a large margin, an on-site straw poll. I've heard him speak. I was impressed.
Pro-family leaders are a bit nervous tho about Huckabee. They are not sure he's electable. These leaders like Dobson, Bauer and Perkins don't look at Huckabee as a clear winner so they are keeping their distance. I think they should come out and back him right now. Let's unite. If we do, Hillary is dead in the water.
In the national polls Huckabee is gaining ground. Last Spring he wasn't even mentioned in some of the polls and maybe 2% in others. While Huckabee is slowly gaining ground some of the frontrunners are losing theirs. Giuilani, for instance is running about 28% in some polls now, but was as high as 40% last Spring. McCain and Thompson numbers also went South in the last six months. Romney's poll numbers seem to be eratic even after the fact that he has the most money to spend, out spending the rest and Huckabee by about 5-1 last I heard. So right now we have Huckabee at number 5 and not too far back from the third spot but gaining ground everyday. If this trend continues, he could very well overtake a couple of these frontrunners ahead of him in the next few weeks.
In the next few months after the primaries start going, some of these candidates will drop. Some think McCain may be the first to go for the frontrunners. As some of these frontrunners numbers continue to head south, I think Huckabee will pick up steam. For evangelicals he's the only answer. Some of these evangelicals now are now supporting Giulani. Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, has estimated that there may be 25% supporting Giulani right now but their support is "squishy."
Right now there seems to be a divison of pro-family leaders in their supporting of any candidate. They are nowhere united at this stage of the game behind any candidate. Some of these evangelical leaders seem to be behind Giulani and others like Jay Sekulow and Bob Jones III are throwing their support behind Romney. I did hear of one Southern Baptist leader down South who withdrew his support of Giulani and I expect to see more of this as time goes by.
Still going to stick my neck out and say.....Huckabee vs Hillary.

Exceedingly complex and slackjawed simple.
