Vote Anti Incumbent

Evangelical Voters

Per CNN, Huckabee’s victory in Iowa can be attributed to his overwhelming support among Christian evangelical voters and women, according to CNN analysis of entrance polls.

Well that answers the question, will Evangelicals still have the power at the voting booth after putting George Bush in office. Remember this from 2004: According to surveys of voters leaving the polls, Bush won 79 percent of the 26.5 million evangelical votes.

Per the WSJ.com Voter interviews also suggested Mr. Romney’s Mormon faith may have been an issue. Many Christian conservatives view the religion with suspicion. Mr. Huckabee’s campaign drew a large number of evangelical Christians, who made up nearly 60% of all Republican caucus-goers, a sharp jump from the last competitive contest in 2000.

 Yes they do still have the power.  With the low popularity of President Bush, you would have thought it could have been a bach lash against putting another of the evangelical movement’s men in office.  But even the evangelicals were getting disgruntled with President Bush, not doing enough for them.

Looks like we are heading for more of the same.  Too bad Mr Jerry Fawell is not around to afford Mr Huckabee a great photo op about now.
