Republicans Need to Beware Huckabee

Peter Wehner, an ex-deputy assistant to President Bush writes in an op-ed in todays Washington Post that Republicans need to be careful about supporting Mike Huckabee for President.

Here is Wehner's first paragraph in the op-ed:

Some of us -- in my case, a political conservative and evangelical Christian -- are getting a queasy feeling when it comes to the presidential campaign of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, and much of it has to do with his use of faith in this political campaign.

I assume that Wehner is an evangelical Christian as the term applies to President Bush. One of those Sunday church-goers that forget the meaning of their faith for six out of seven days. In other words, the kind of republican that wants the evangelical Christian vote but then forgets about them after they get the vote.

Wehner's last paragraph says:

Mike Huckabee, by all accounts a faithful Christian, may not have crossed any bright lines yet -- but he's edging close to them. He should pull back now, before his political ambitions injure what he claims to care about, and undoubtedly does care about, most.

"By all accounts"? Does anyone question Mike Huckabee's devotion to his faith? I sure don't. And, Wehner really didn't make it clear exactly which "bright lines" Huckabee is close to crossing.

Huckabee sure is sticking in the craw of a lot of conservatives these days.
