Previous evangelical politicians have run as single-issue candidates opposed to abortion. Huckabee isn't doing that. But he is very nearly a single-constituency candidate. His ads tout him as a "Christian leader," and he says that being a pastor is "pretty good preparation to lead a country." Asked to explain his rise in the polls, he invokes God's blessing...
