Did US Christian Right Know Gbagbo's Other Wife Is Muslim?
By Dana Kennedy - AOL NewsProminent members of the U.S. religious right have trumpeted their support of Ivory Coast's just-captured former president, Laurent Gbagbo -- and some of their rhetoric emphasizes that Gbagbo is an evangelical Christian, unlike incoming Muslim leader Alassane Ouattara. But did they know or care that Gbagbo, despite his vocal embrace of Christianity, has had another wife on the side for years? And that she's Muslim?

There are a number of great reasons for Huckabee to emerge. He's a plain-spoken, devoutly religious, moderate appearing, and apparently personally appealing candidate. A small-state Governor from the South. Based on that resume, doesn't he seem a more likely Republican nominee than the New York Mayor, the Massachusetts Governor, or the lawyer-actor-napper?So what's happening?
