Do you think that the cross-bookshelf HURT Huckabee? Huckabee was working for the evangelical vote, and the news for two straight days (free press) was that he was so christian that he hid a cross in his advertisement.

That wasn’t a negative, that was free press.

The media is treating Romney’s religion with kid gloves because the media doesn’t think religion should be a factor unless the candidate makes it a factor. Huckabee puts his religion front and center, because it’s what brings out his voters. So the media covers it, just as Huckabee wants.

Huckabee is a very good campaigner. He’s slick. He’s personable. He’s gotten a lot of good media attention. He’s gotten some critical media since he won some elections, and it’s hurt him.

Yeah. He reminds me of Bill Clinton.
