There's a holy war happening around Mike Huckabee. While Michigan's Evangelicals promote the Republican's candidacy, there appear to be generational rumbles spreading across the nation. While the old guard reject his seemingly populist approach, younger Bible-thumpers are hoping for a Huckabee administration. And the division threatens the entire movement:

Mr. Huckabee, who was a Southern Baptist minister before serving as governor of Arkansas, is the only candidate in the presidential race who identifies himself as an evangelical.
