“Yet another example of why many (not all) evangelicals are not conservative. Throw government money/power toward their causes, make repeated religious references, and they’re totally content if everyone else gets the shaft on taxes, national security etc. The money-changers in the temple have nothing over Huckabee. Den of thieves redux.”

You’re misrepresenting both Governor Huckabee and his evangelical supporters. Most of us are strong conservatives:

“Most of us are strong Conservatives”.
Too bad Huckabee isn’t.

If you are supporting Governor Huckabee as a “conservative” then I doubt you have any real idea of what a conservative actually is.

I'm not sure about his supporters, though I have my doubts. However, I am very sure that the former governor of that state next door is A) not a Conservative, B) no friend of the truth, C) fought against Dr. Adrian Rogers' attempts to reform the SBC, and D) did his very best to subvert the law in order to enrich himself at the expense of the law he swore to uphold and the people who voted for him. In summary, he may be a Chirstian, but he does not act very Christlike in his ethics.

Then a. you have a unique definition of strong or conservative, or b. you are letting something else override your conservative principles (oooooh, he's a Christian).

If anyone had the choice between an atheist brain surgeon who was outstanding in his field and a so-so brain surgeon who was a Christian and chose the Christian for his brain surgery because he was a Christian, then that person is a fool. Not a fool for Christ, just a fool.
