400-408 – Michael Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association (hslda.org), and now Chancellor of Patrick Henry College in Virginia, on whether he is part of a "troublesome fringe" of born-again voters that are promoting "the Biblical justification for an Obama plague-like presidency" because it is "what the American people deserve," as Robert Novak writes today.
• Robert D. Novak, McCain, Huckabee and the Evangelicals. (emphasis added)
An element of the Christian community is not reconciled to McCain's candidacy but instead regards the prospective presidency of Barack Obama in the nature of a Biblical plague visited upon a sinful people. These militants look at former Baptist preacher Huckabee as "God's candidate" running for president in 2012. Whether they can be written off as merely a troublesome fringe group depends on Huckabee's course.
One experienced, credible activist in Christian politics who would not let his name be used told me Huckabee in personal conversation with him embraced the concept that an Obama presidency might be what the American people deserve. That fits what has largely been a fringe position among evangelicals that the pain of an Obama presidency is in keeping with the Bible's prophecy.
According to this activist, at the heart of the let-Obama-win movement is longtime Virginia conservative leader Michael Farris -- the nation's leading home-school advocate, who is now chancellor of Patrick Henry College (in Purcellville, Va.) for home-schooled students. Best known politically as the losing Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Virginia in 1993, Farris is regarded as one of the hardest-edged Christian politicians. He is reported in evangelical circles to promote the Biblical justification for an Obama plague-like presidency.
413-423 – Is Huckabee the problem or the solution for McCain? Should his VP be a female or a minority? Is Romney the problem or the solution? Will the VP be decisive for you? If he names a pro-life Christian or a pro-choice non-Christian, will that make a difference to you?
