The Invisible Primary, 6/4

Tracking the GOP race to 2012

Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee spoke at a Rediscovering God in America rally in Virginia Beach Friday, urging Christians to get involved in politics, and Huckabee said he was disturbed by President Obama's speech in Cairo; Huckabee will travel to Iowa next week to speak at two events; Charlie Crist is looking good in his Senate bid, according to a Strategic Vision poll; and Sarah Palin will appear in upstate New York tomorrow to celebrate Alaskan statehood at the home of William Seward, who negotiated the purchase of Alaska under President Andrew Johnson.

FYI, apparently Newt's soundbites from the Virginia Beach rally are making the rounds.

"I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history," Gingrich said. "We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism."

Which, is a perfectly fine thing to say at a Christian rally. But it's rubbing people the wrong way.
