While I understand the want to have someone who believes in moral issues like many Christians do, we must also remember to look at all stances on their policies. I’ve heard things said about how some will not even vote for a candidate who is not proclaimed Christian and fails to cater to “our group”.

Though I am hard against Huckabee at this point (links to some reasons why will be posted below), I am still undecided overall. One this is for sure, Huckabee is getting rave reviews from some parts of the media… that is a very scary sign..
