And tonight&#8217;s results and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/21228191\/\">exit polls out of New Hampshire<\/a> confirm those doubts. Even among those who attend church multiple times each week, Huckabee took just third of the vote, with Mitt Romney and John McCain doing almost as well. And among the much bigger chunk of weekly churchgoers&#8211;nearly a quarter of the vote in New Hampshire&#8211; Huckabee came in third, bested by McCain and Romney. As <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/castingstones\/2008\/01\/mccain-ties-huckabee-among-eva.html?bt=polmashup\">Steve Waldman points out<\/a>, Huckabee split the evangelical vote with McCain and Romney. Huckabee may be something more than a traditional Christian Right candidate like Pat Robertson. But at the moment, he doesn&#8217;t seem to be much more, at least electorally.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When God-o-Meter went to the Parker&#8217;s Maple Barn in Mason, New Hampshire yesterday, it observed that everyone present was an evangelical or a frequent churchgoer, raising doubts that Huckabee is breaking out of his Christian Right base after winning Iowa last week almost solely on the backs of evangelicals.
