NOW WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT IS: Mike Huckabee complained on the MTV forum that he always gets the “God questions.” Wouldn’t you know that one of his last big appearances in the runup to Super Tuesday was at an Alabama church school where his people waved “Us Against Them” signs. Who’s “them”? Huckabee professee to be clueless. But check the jump for a letter to the editor I received today to give you a taste of what the Huckabee faithful might think.

“We just like talking up our friend Hillary,” said Patrick Henry Hays, a veteran Traveler who also is the mayor of North Little Rock. “Look, I like Mike Huckabee too. He and his wife, Janet, are my constituents. That’s the great thing about Arkansas. We’ve got two national candidates, and, to us, they’re just folks.”

WHERE’S THE LOVE? Bill Clinton is quoted in Missouri as saying the presidential race is down to four people. Does that mean he no longer counts the most recent man from Hope in that number? Huckabee says he ain’t quitting, regardless.

NONETHELESS, HE’S IMPORTANT. Brummett explains why Huckabee has and will be so important to a winning drive for the nomination by John McCain. He thinks, however, that he might have pigeon-holed himself too far to the Religious Right to take the No. 2 spot on the ticket.
