For Mike Huckabee, Jesus Is Magic

Jarrett

So, Huckabee says that Jesus was "too smart to get involved in politics," but the man believes that Jesus is personally going to intervene in the American political races in 2008 so Huck can win. Here ya go: Mike Huckabee, a pastor before he became governor of Arkansas, said Saturday that he would not bow out of the Republican primary despite Senator John McCain’s huge lead in the race for convention delegates. “I didn’t major in math,” Mr. Huckabee said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them too.” Credit the NY Times Caucus Blog for the quote.
