Since the Los Angeles Times reported on MIke Huckabee's fundraising woes--staff cuts, minimal ad buys in Florida--a few days ago there's been little sign that things are picking up for him. What I've been puzzling over is why. Sure, the Washington Post described the rank and file of the religious right as "poor, uneducated and easy to command" ten years ago, but it wasn't true then and it isn't true now. If "values voters" are quite well off, thank you, why aren't they ponying up for the guy who is carrying their standard? Has this segment of the GOP coalition simply never been looked to for political contributions, as opposed to votes? Are they sinking all their extra income into their churches? Anyone for a Huckatithe?
