Religous Bigot: “I will not quit!”
Is there an evangelical word for chutzpah?
“As a true authentic, consistent, conservative, I have a vision to bring hope, opportunity and prosperity to all Americans, and I’d like to ask for and welcome the support of those who had previously been committed to Mitt,” Huckabee said in a statement.
Yeah, right!

Romney’s speech at CPAC pretty much spells out the difference between him and Schmuckabee. Romney is doing what he thinks is best for his country by giving McCain more time to focus on winning the presidency instead of beating Romney in an all-but-decided primary. In a time of war he thinks this it is best for America to keep the Clintons out of Washington. Huckabee, of course, is going to dog out a ridiculous campaign because he thinks it is what is best for himself (and he gets to bash Mormons a few more times during his extended minutes of fame).
I’m sure all of Romney’s supporters will just flock to his self-serving effort.
great point miguel. i think you nailed it.
here is the georgia (which is close to evangelical) definition:
‘Chutzpah’sometimes spelled ‘hutzpa’: this expressive Yiddish word appears in modern English dictionaries as meaning ‘colossal effrontery’ or ‘brazen gall’ but as stated in The Joys of Yiddish by Leo Rosten, ‘The classic definition of ‘chutzpah’ is that quality enshrined in a man, who having killed his mother and father, throws himself upon the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.’
