I was going to write something snarky about Huckabee’s comments on the Constitution, but Archy has already said everything I would have, and better:
Mike Huckabee doesn’t like it when people question him about his religion. He assures us that he won’t try to force his religion on us if he becomes president. He wants us to take his word on that and just shut up about creationism. This is his idea of not forcing his religion on us:
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
Say goodbye to pork, shimp, blended fabrics, and start collecting rocks to deal with all those rebellious children and women taken in adultery. At least he plays the guitar and has a folksy manner, because that’s what’s really important.

Relax! (g)
It’s going to be Clinton and McCain and McCain-Hawk will kick her a** because the war in Iraq is being “managed” in the media here. The “surge” is working, and that’s all you hear on the subject in the US media. (Never mind the reason it’s working which is that we’re paying off the Sunis in large sums of cash, so their insurgency has essentially turned into a state/imperial-sponsored protection racket.)
The only thing that will stop McCain from winning is a huge recession, which is actually a bigger possibility than ever.
If it is McCain (and I agree it’s likely) then I’d much rather have Obama than Clinton. Assuming that each candidate can count on his/her base (minus a few on each side who hate the particular candidate) the battle becomes the undecideds, which is natural territory for Obama and McCain, but not for Clinton.
I wouldn’t be too sure on that. Clinton’s win in New Hampshire is a case in point. Turns out her own internal polls showed her 11 points behind but she won because she skews really strangely on poor whites because poor whites don’t answer polls and they don’t vote for black candidates.
Well I’d consider poor whites part of the Democratic base… or at least they ought to be, which I’m aware isn’t the same thing.
