Huckabee and Brinson: Match Made in Heaven?

Dr. Randy BrinsonDid you see the weekend’s Washington Post article suggesting that Alabama MD Randy Brinson and his email list of 71 million names get some of the credit for Mike Huckabee’s surge among GOP presidential candidates?

His recent mass email attempts to sway (and encourage turnout among) Iowa’s conservative Christians with faith-based doubts about rival Romney’s fitness as a candidate. Randy Brinson, a friend of Mr. Huckabee’s who founded the nonpartisan evangelical voters registration organization, Redeem the Vote, sent out another mass e-mail directly criticizing Mr. Romney for “parsing words from his own faith experience as a Mormon and equating it to the Christian faith, which is a particularly difficult Christians to accept.” [...]
