In Light of the Gospel

My friend Justin Taylor has previously endorsed Mike Huckabee here. Now that Huckabee is gaining momentum, he is a serious consideration. Today I read a post at De Regno Christi by W. H. Chellis that asked some of important questions about Huckabee:

Wow is Mike Huckabee doing good! The latest national poll places him at 1 point behind America’s Mayor! He is now leading in Iowa and gaining ground in New Hampshire.

O.K. he is lovable and genuine… GWB is also… but do you trust evangelical compassionate conservatism? Do we really want big government do-good-er-ism plaguing us with national smoking bans and Divinely inspired exhortations toward weight-loss? Are we really well served by a tender hearted approach to the illegal immigrationproblem? Do we need another quasi-dispensational crusader in the Middle East? Questions that must be considered before I jump on the bandwagon.
