It seems to me that the larger problem is one of evangelical identity politics — a certain number of evangelicals starting to view themselves as an identity/interest group rather than voters with concerns about particular issues. It was on display during the Harriet Miers debacle, when supporters of her nomination used her faith as a reason conservatives should trust her. It’s a helpful trend for Mike Huckabee, but less so for evangelicals and their conservative allies.
