To expand on this, I find it very funny that conservative christians are having such an internal struggle with who to vote for. Huckabee would seem to be their only choice given that he's an ordained minister, but with not very much ability to win. Mit Romney has all the "moral character" and winning ability they need, but he's a member of a cult. Guliani is a christian with a very good ability to win, but he's not been the most moral person in the past.
