Cruz Huckabee vie for evangelicals at Iowa summit - James Hohmann - POLITICO
Much more at the link.
Looking forward to some very edifying video moments from this Summit.
Discuss. Who will do a better job of throwing red-meat to the Evangelicals? Cruz, or Huckabee?
On the eve of the Faith and Freedom Summit, Ted Cruz has the edge among social conservatives in Iowa, according to this week’s POLITICO Caucus. The weekly survey of influential activists, operatives and elected officials finds that most Iowa Republican insiders believe the Texas senator has an upper hand with the key GOP constituency, but former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee follows in a close second.
Cruz and Huckabee are among the nine likely presidential candidates who will speak Saturday night to a thousand evangelical activists here in an event that qualifies as the most significant political gathering of religious conservatives in Iowa so far this year.
“Iowa’s social conservatives are fractured, but Ted Cruz is making all of the right moves to coalesce them,” said a top Iowa Republican, who – like all 81 respondents – answered the weekly questionnaire anonymously in order to answer candidly.
Added another Iowa Republican, “Huckabee has a lot of supporters in Iowa, but Cruz is making the argument that he is the conservative who can win by using every opportunity to tout his early fundraising haul.”
