Huckabee has been posturing as a moderate, centrist candidate.  The fact that Huckabee is firmly connected with the fundamentalist takeover of the SBC and that Tom Delay has already endorsed him on CNN, should give ample indication of who can be expected to emerge as their most blessed candidate.

Mike Huckabee has been invited to speak at the New Baptist Covenant meeting that former U.S. President's Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton helped publicize.  Southern Baptists have loudly criticized this religious meeting to celebrate Baptist unity as being a covert rally to elect Hillary Clinton as President.  Hillary has not been invited to speak.  She's not a Baptist.  The meeting will not be a political rally for either party.  It will be a religious celebration.

Huckabee has been invited to speak because he is a Baptist preacher.  If Huckabee does not participate, it will not be for lack of an invitation.
