Political bits
In a WaPo article on Mitt Romney's strategy,
(Reuters) Huckabee stops for a Christmas sermon at John Hagee's megachurch in San Antonio angering some Catholics because of Hagee's past writings.
And, The NYTimes has a piece looking at the international betting odds for the US presidential race. Clinton 3-1. Obama 7-5. Edwards 10-1. Romney 5-1. McCain 8-1. Giuliani 10-1. Huckabee 12-1.
"Are there moments of quiet and sometimes not-so-quiet desperation? Of course," another longtime adviser said. "But . . . this is the strategy we have. We don't have the option of doing anything else."

"Huckabee stops for a Christmas sermon at John Hagee's megachurch ...angering some Catholics.."
This is why I sometimes use the phrase "Protestant Christianity." At some level conservative Catholics and Fundamentalist Protestants merely tolerate each other for their own selfish political ends. Huck, I think, is different than the vanilla, non-denominational types like Reagan, or even Bush. Huck is seen as a sectarian Christian, specifically and particularly a non-Catholic. In the eyes of conservative Catholics, this is not a good thing. Not at all.

Huckabee is definitely sectarian. It's part of what defines southjern baptists. Holier than thou is their self identification.
