Candidates from Hope are hip. Bill Clinton had his saxophone; Mike Huckabee plays his electric bass guitar. But when Americans hear the labels "Southern Baptist" or "evangelical," they probably don't immediately think "hip." Next to Mormons, evangelicals are probably regarded as the least cool segment of the American population. How did Mr. Huckabee become a hip evangelical politician?

Kind of silly, that. Where does he think Rock 'n Roll came from, anyway?

Schlafly: Huckabee ‘destroyed conservative movement in Arkansas, left Republican Party a shambles’...

NOT COOL.

I think candidates from Hope are more hopeless than anything else.

We don’t need another “Man from Hope” type crap.
