I saw the ad yesterday. Of course it's loaded with subliminal messages, half the people the ad is aimed at see the Virgin Mary in a piece of toast or an oil slick. The last thing this country needs is another wing nut Bible thumper in the Oval Office. Huckabee will fool a lot of southern moderates and independents with his populist economic rhetoric and his superficial affability, but I doubt that the big money that controls the GOP will let him anywhere near the nomination. And as far as his version of Christ goes, it's not the only one. I personally don't subscribe to the notion of Jesus as some self righteous warrior god. The "Christmas" being pushed by the religious right every year with their cultural war is no better than the crass, commercialized holiday being hocked by soulless corporate America. A pox on both houses.
