To our shame, a lot of my fellow Christian conservatives can't figure out the difference between moral conservatism (e.g., pro-life, sanctity of marriage) and other kinds of conservatism (e.g., lowering taxes, balancing the budget, reducing the federal government, controlling our borders). Even more sad, they can't figure out which kind of conservatism is most important.

Have you considered the possibility that Huckabee is shooting for the vice presidency (with a long-range goal of a future presidential run), that he continues to improve in the polls (despite every prediction), that he is proving he is better than Romney at getting conservative votes (a McCain weakness), that he is the only remaining candidate not owned by Wall Street, and that his relative liberalism on non-moral issues will be a strength in the general election?

I predict that by the end of the primaries, people will be complaining that Romney's campaign is pointless.
