Dogpatch strikes back!

K-Lo just put up the most pitiful, ridiculous, whiney "can't we all just get along" vote for a real candidate letter from a "not anti-Huck, but very pro-Republican" reader. It was so awful as to be rather amusing.

Mark Steyn has declared that this is nothing more than identity politics.

Talk about not getting it! I think Ramesh is much more on-target in saying that it's a good night for Christians who want to reach across the aisle.

And how pitiful are we? Not only are we sitting at our computers watching the results of caucuses in the cornfields to come in, but we're refreshing our browsers every few minutes to see what the pundits have to say about it! I think I'll go indulge in my other hobbies - knitting and playing sodoku now. I'm just about as anti-cool as they come! Yeesh.

Practically, how many delegates were chosen tonight? How many does it take to get the nominations?

I suspect nothing much happened tonight beyond Hillary! getting knocked down a peg, and Romney being shown to be a paper tiger. HRC will get up, because the Dem machine pols and ther alies in the media across the country are invested in her. And more importantly-Obama is about to experience a level of scrutiny by the media and his own party he could never fathom. All that stuff the Clinton campaign said the GOP might use on Obama gets released tommorrow. By 5PM he will be a Nation of Islam drug trafficker.

So the snake handlers like one of their own? Big deal. Huckabee will end up being a footnote. No idea who the GOP nominee will be, but I know it won't be Huckabee nor Romney.

Bugg:

You really don't know any Evangelicals, do you? They're not poor, uneducated and easy to command, despite what you may have read.

I know, Bugg, but you gotta admit Brooklyn -- the Promised Land -- is not representative of America. I couldn't tell if you were joking with the snake handlers remark, or meant it nastily. It's a funny line, but only if it's meant as a funny line. The GOP elite have been looking down their collective nose at Huckabee, so you can perhaps understand the sensitivity.

MEEEEEE-OWWWWW, Rod. I guess I hadn't fathomed the depths of the bad terms you left the Corner on.

LP-

I at points have considered Thompson and Giuliani. Increasingly though, the only one that amkes any sense to me is Ron Paul.

Romney is a liar, through and through.

Huckabee is right that the GOP was happy to give evangelicals a place at the table as long as they didn't actaully get anything for government. But the scary thing is, there isn't much government can do culture-wise.
