"Actually, that is the problem. The evangelical crowd was fine when it was just a resource to be cynically exploited every few years in demagogic anti-gay get-out-the-vote campaigns. But now the holy-rolling monster the GOP's Dr. Frankensteins have created has thrown off the shackles, fled the lab, and is currently leading in Iowa. And the party doesn't know what to do." LOL.....best quote of the week!

THE NOTE: How the Huck's Stealing Iowa Peaks and Piques: Past is present for Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, and Huckabee By RICK KLEIN with JACQUELINE KLINGEBIEL Dec. 20, 2007 abcnews.go.com How The Grinch Stole Christmas: Mike Huckabee got an early Christmas present Wednesday, a new ABC News/Washington Post poll wrapped up with a bow. Huckabee, R-Ark., is the clear Iowa leader, with a 35-27 standing, as the other Republican candidates may be feeling as if they are more likely to get coal in their Iowa stockings. ..."Religion is driving the Republican presidential race in Iowa, with Mike Huckabee taking the lead on the strength of overwhelming support from evangelical voters -- and Mitt Romney falling behind over concerns about his Mormon faith," ABC Polling Director Gary Langer writes. "Romney, for his part, holds a slight lead among the nearly eight in 10 Iowa Republicans who say his religion doesn't matter in their vote. But the remaining two in 10 say his Mormon religion makes them less likely to support him, and they overwhelmingly favor Huckabee by a large enough margin to put him in front overall." ..."Republican women, particularly those who describe themselves as evangelicals and those who attend church regularly, are the primary force behind Huckabee's recent increases," Jon Cohen and Chris Cillizza write in The Washington Post. "Women now support him over Romney by an 18-point margin; men divide their votes about evenly between the two." And in a new national poll, "Rudy Giuliani has lost his national lead in the Republican field after a flurry of negative publicity about his personal and business activities, setting the stage for what could be the party's most competitive nomination fight in decades," John Harwood reports in writing up the new Wall Street Journal/NBC numbers. "The results signal a dramatic shift in the nature of the Republican race: In a party with a history of rewarding established front-runners, there's no longer a front-runner of any kind."
