You can always count on them to be forgivey come general elections time. Huckabee feeling jilted.

Excitable Andy is in full swoon over Barack Obama defending gay rights from a Christian perspective to a largely black crowd in Beaumont, Texas: It’s a break through. If it were just words, it would be one thing. But he has now done this repeatedly in front of black crowds, when he didn’t have to.
