Kathryn, that bit from First Read seemed really poorly reasoned to me. The assumption is that evangelicals went with Huckabee because Romney is a Mormon. Maybe that’s true for some evangelical voters. But if Romney had been an Episcopalian with a record of flip-flops many evangelicals would probably still have gone with Huckabee, a fellow evangelical who has a consistent record on the social issues and is at ease talking about them. Let’s not leap to uncharitable assumptions.
