The Prince of Darkness weighs in with a fascinating column, reporting that extreme right-wing evangelicals would just as soon see Barack Obama elected in order to pave the way for Mike Huckabee in 2012, even though Huckabee is thought to be genuinely supporting John McCain. Some of these evangelicals go so far as to see Obama as a plague prophesied by the Bible. Sourcing is minimal, and the best stuff comes from unnamed sources. Interesting if true, as they say.

Lots of blue sky here, which make this a "SO?" article from Cheney's favorite spy-thriller author. Frankly, the entire movement of the religious right must now share in, as well as be judged by, the utter failure of the ultra conservative heavy-handed administration run by Cheney and Bush--one of the worst in America's history. Obviouly it's time right-wing religionists assume their rightful place in politics: namely that of an overly vocal, minuscule minority which should be ignored.
