Sam Brownback is kicking himself for getting out when he did. The Huckabee surge might have been the Brownback surge. Brownback is probably more conservative than Huckabee and just as solid on social issues.
I still feel that the Huckabee surge was due primarily to the 'ANYONE BUT GIULIANI voters--i.e. social conservatives/evangelicals and Christians GRASPING FOR ANYONE,,,and I mean ANYONE,,,,with some semblance of socially conservative credentials.
Huck owes Rudy big time for that one.
