Huckabee uses C-word and refuses to apologize

Mike Huckabee released his "What really matters" video and what an uproar he has received. In case you haven't watched the video yet, you can watch it by clicking here. In the video Mike states,

"What really matters is the celebration of the birth of Christ and being with our families and our friends."

With Mike being a former Baptist pastor, I kind of expected this type of statement from him. It seems that others are upset that he did not include other religions - accusing him of pandering to his evangelical base in running the ads in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. This presumes that Mike Huckabee has "his evangelical base".

One thing is for certain, there is a large and interested "evangelical base" out there and it has been bruised, beaten and feels betrayed. Mike Huckabee has started to resonate with this base and since October has raised his percentages of the polls from 6% to 23%, of course this improvement can not solely be attributed to the "evangelical base", or can it?

The other leading Republican candidates have not been able to "excite" this base like Mike Huckabee has been able to do. In my opinion, the other Republican candidate that could "excite" and "ignite" the evangelical base is Duncan Hunter, who appears to be stuck back where Huckabee came from in October, and needs to get unstuck soon if he is going to do it.

So what will it take from Billary Clinton to attract the evangelical base? Bill has already teamed with Jimmy Carter to confront and control any collateral damage caused by evangelicals to the Democratic Party (both have personal and painful political experiences from the past). The question for Billary Clinton supporters is there a way to attract instead of denounce, confront and control this large and loyal group of Americans?
