...endorsements. He was too openly religious. He had a funny last name and crooked teeth, and the fiscal conservatives didn't trust him. His books offered oddly quaint instructions, like "report litter" and "don't swear." He had once supported the release from prison of a rapist, Wayne DuMond, who went on to commit murder. His campaign staff could, for a time, be counted on one hand, then two. He was never expected to be a serious factor...
Huckabee's faith-based politics have sometimes led him astray. As Governor, he supported letting convicted rapist Wayne DuMond out of prison--a cause championed by Huckabee's friend Jay Cole, a Baptist minister. DuMond then sexually assaulted another woman and killed her. In 1992 Huckabee argued for dealing with AIDS by quarantining those infected...

That's not likely to cut it once voters hear from Shields' mother, Lois Davidson, who told ABCNews.com this week that she will do "whatever it takes" to keep Huckabee out of the White House. Nor did his under-populated, overwhelmed staff do Huckabee any favors. At a dinner with reporters on Tuesday night...
