Another thing to remember about Huckabee. His appeal to a plurality of evangelicals has most likely been based on his purity on traditional Republican social issues–abortion, gay marriage, etc. It’s hard to see how this heralds the coming of a new GOP coalition. Of course, Huckabee has also certainly attracted some evangelicals (especially younger ones) on the basis of his new and different sensibility as a Christian right leader, but it’s hard to see how that heralds the coming of a new coalition either.
