They can't win with the Fundies and they can't win without them. Huckabee exposes the fraudulent piety of freakshows like Falwell and Robertson and that breaks up the Fundie monolith. Like Tracinski, Richard Land, a lying gasbag for the Southern Baptist Convention, also understands this dilemma:

Richard Land, the top public policy official of the Southern Baptist Convention, argued that just as small-government and foreign-policy conservatives could not win a primary without evangelicals, “I don’t think evangelicals can win without most of the rest of those coalitions.” (NYT, 1/13/08)
