FRIENDS OR SUPPORTERS?

If I see any EFMers quoted in the news, I'm going to post them here. First, the Arkansas Morning News, by Aaron Sadler:

Mike Huckabee was definitely among friends over the weekend at a conference of conservative "values voters." Whether he was among supporters remained in doubt. Though his speech Saturday drew multiple standing ovations, Huckabee hasn't gained much traction among social conservatives in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

"I love Mike Huckabee, I love listening to him speak, but he's not my kind of candidate fiscally," said Nancy French, an author from Columbia, Tenn., and backer of Mitt Romney's Republican presidential bid.

"I'm very impressed with him, but he just doesn't, I don't think, capture the evangelical heart," French said of the former Arkansas governor.
