Hugh Hewitt reports on this interesting result:
Hewitt continues, but those were my favorite parts.
FYI, Hugh Hewitt is an evangelical. Yet, like many at Evangelicals for Mitt and elsewhere, he’s managed to become a huge fan of and advocate for Willard Mitt Romney.
This is the most startling of statistics out of Michigan, after the 9% margin Romney rolled up. (McCain's collapse in the Wolverine State was large and quick --the effects of three straight debates in which he wandered and often lost his argument?)
Michigan's evangelicals did not rally to Huck despite the full court press and pastors' push etc. Huck's got to be close to out of money and is almost certainly out of gas. If he loses South Carolina, he is done though of course there is no reason for him to withdraw as a small pile of delegates might yet matter in St. Paul.
Why Michigan's evangelicals abandoned Huck is the inetersting question. The most likely explanation is that the reality of Huck's policies caught up with his funny, winsome style. Bill Clinton was funny and winsome as well, and even though Huck is a good man and right on the life issue and marriage, most Republicans wouldn't vote for a pro-life Democrat over a pro-life Republican, and Huck is in essence, a pro-life Democrat. Huck's got five days to get his narrow but deep base back into the game, and yesterday's fiasco about the Constitution and God's word won't help....
