From the members of the press, all the way up to the skybox, the sporting world is not its own little vacuum within our TV screen like we often believe...

Sensing the momentum, Huckabee put out an ad in which he said, "Faith doesn't just influence me; it really defines me" while the words "Christian Leader" appeared on the screen over footage of the candidate. Soon evangelicals in Iowa, and even nationally, began to move toward Huckabee...
