If Huckabee was sincere in his desire to spread Christianity via the presidency, he would have used real, Christian candy canes instead of these pagan ones on his campaign Christmas pamphlets. (Note the lack of just three small, red stripes)

If a candidate is going to shill his faith to get the votes he/she needs to get it right completely. This just proves how insincere he and his followers really are.

Full disclosure: I'm a Christian who wants a moral, sane, intelligent person in the White House (haven't had one of those since 1^st term - and only the 1^st term - Reagan). I do not care what the personal religion of a candidate might be since I certainly do not want them using the way they interpret the principles of their faith as their sole means of governing.

The odds are good that we will have a Muslim or outspoken atheist (that's a religion even though they won't admit it) as president some day. Just taking what we've seen as to how seriously bad the Koran can be interpreted by followers, there's no way I want to set a precedent now.
