Social conservatives are rallying around a candidate they consider one of their own despite his liberal tenancies on other issues.
This what happens in race that has been dominated by liberal phonies and uninspiring candidates.
Are Evangelicals really that stupid?
What is stupid about supporting a man that is ardently pro-life, opposes the homosexual agenda, supports abstinence teaching, backs homeschooling and would fight against the attempt to cleanse religion from public places? It makes perfect sense if those issues are most important to a person and a more conservative candidate isn't touting those issues.
It’s not all conservatives...perhaps this explains his rise in the polls??

I wouldn’t call it stupid. It’s the same problem Bush has, in another form. You can be trusting in your private life, and always think the best of people until they prove otherwise, and in many ways that is a virtue.
But in public life you have a duty to the common good, which means you should be less trusting, less nice, less ready to turn the other cheek.
I gotta agree with you. The two worst president's in my lifetime have been GW Bush and Jimmy Carter. I don't think the country can survive another born-again "Christian" in The Oval Office.
I think history will treat him VERY kindly. He's been a visionary and a leader in the war against the Jihad. It's a life or death struggle until the end.
If anything he has not been aggressive enough.
Bush would have been a great President if he'd stuck to the war on terror. Sadly, with his attempts to remake the US to meet Daddy's globalist fantasies, he is condemning our children and our grandchildren to peonage and third world status; and with his de facto surrender to Mexico, he ensures the US will break up into ethnic diaspora.
In short, while he saved us from an enemy from without, as the enemy within he's betrayed us to the financial interests of Wall Street. (I guess that good "Christian" that he is, his Bible doesn't contain the verse about what profit does a man attain if he gains the whole world and loses his eternal soul.)
