Mike Huckabee got a decent bump today in Iowa, with a public event featuring the endorsements of 60 different pastors from around the state — a natural constituency for the conservative Baptist minister and ex-governor. Among those in attendance was Chuck Hurley, who had previously supported Huckabee's main rival for religious right support at the Iowa Straw Poll, Sam Brownback.

The knock against Huckabee has been that he lacks money and organization. With the backing of 60 conservative ministers — a number that can only grow even further — the organization can build itself.
