Sarah Posner has one possibility:
What's the glue that's holding the Pentecostal-Baptist political] alliance together? Why, it's Mike Huckabee and Kenneth Copeland, [ well-known buddies -- but don't worry, no pastor-parishioner relationship there! Their relationship was cemented when Copeland used a gathering of pastors to help the struggling campaign scare up some needed cash in January. "I've seen you sitting with presidents and talking with them, and I believe that right now, you and your relationship with Gov. Mike Huckabee, for example, you representing the Pentecostals and he representing the Southern Baptists, are kind of holding this thing together single-handedly," said Wead. (Apparently Huckabee has an issue with financial secrecy as well, as he settled yet another inquiry by an ethics panel in Arkansas over secrecy of donors to his official portrait.)
Mike Huckabee: not a candidate, just a pastor and defender of the conservative belief system who's so busy using his influence to grease his palms that he couldn't be bothered to stand up for the guys getting waterboarded.
Your Christian values at work.
