The top contenders for Prez so far (after just Iowa) represent the opposing sides of the worst time of our nation's history. Huckabee is a leader in the Southern Baptist Convention, the driving force to maintain slavery a century and a half ago (though he did force the integration of his own congregation). The Old South has scored its greatest victory. Obama is from a marriage that would have been illegal in many states before 1967. We know where Huckabee stands on gays: hell is the appropriate place for us. Obama? He's said some nice things, done some bad things, but does he have enough spine to cross his own base?
One of the comments in this post noted that news outlets are reporting percentages, not actual vote counts. After digging another found that in a state of nearly 3,000,000 people (1,800,000 voters) only 36,000 voted for Huckabee. Something is wrong with this picture.
