...swirling snow drifts and blanketing fog of late-December Iowa, this unlikely amalgam of populism, conservative policies and peerless religious credentials appears to have hit a chord. In just a few weeks, he has rocketed into the lead among Republican voters in Iowa and South Carolina, two states rich with evangelical voters. As the primaries drag on, his ability to expand his support beyond Christian conservatives will depend even more heavily upon his populist pitch. The campaign remains confident of the gamble paying off. "I think what this is, is the Republican Party getting back in touch with its base...

In a region plagued by corruption and government inefficiency, Fazlullah's demand for rule of law - even Islamic law - struck a chord. "Many of his listeners were poor and illiterate," says Rahmat Ali Khan, a businessman from Matta who fled after his cousin, a police officer, was beheaded by Fazlullah's militants on Oct. 27. "They suffer under rich landlords who give them no rights. They think that if they follow [Fazlullah...
