The Political Inquirer

The Washington Times has some of the worst news of the day: Huckabee will continue his political career.

Mr. Huckabee’s inner circle says he’s the perfect bridge to re-establish the Christian right, which has suffered over the last decade, as a political force that speaks for millions of voters.

“He has become the leader of a new generation of Christian conservative voters,” said Rex Nelson, who was communications director when Mr. Huckabee was Arkansas’ governor. “The old leadership has either passed on in the case of [the Rev. Jerry] Falwell or become either irrelevant or out of touch — the Pat Robertson endorsement of Rudy Giuliani proves that.”

“There is nobody else you can identify outside of Mike Huckabee as a leading person to take on that role, really in a new era where evangelicals care about a lot of things like the environment and working with the poor,” Mr. Nelson said.

This is where Christian conservatives refuse to wake up to political truths and continue their illusion with the “Christian” leaders in politics. These have to be the biggest bunch of naive people in the entire world.

So Huckabee won’t be running for president anymore, but instead convinces the GOP’s Christian Right to help John McCain in the general election by continuing the politics of fear.
