...just the right time. They feel that Republicans have given them lip service without taking their concerns seriously. Huckabee's sincerity is not in doubt. But Evangelicals rarely move in unison. Previous candidates who tried to win the nomination by monopolizing them have had their moments--the Rev. Pat Robertson did surprisingly well in the Iowa caucuses in 1988--but eventually lost. Usually Evangelicals have split their vote, and their influence has thus permeated the party. When all the candidates have a shot at evangelical voters, all have an incentive to court them...

That’s how the lead ballooned up at the end.” Four of Harvard’s starters reached double digits in points...
...Iowa voters with his frank expressions of Baptist faith and a pledge to tell the truth no matter what. And that's how Jimmy Carter became President of the United States. It's a story Mike Huckabee knows well. He likes it much better than the one about televangelist Pat Robertson's strong showing in Iowa, which melted away faster than a Tulsa ice storm when the contest went national. The Iowa caucuses almost always produce an interesting tale, but interesting doesn't translate into lasting significance. As Huckabee, a former Baptist preacher and Governor of Arkansas, surges...
