Huckabee's A Sham
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 1st term - and only the 1st 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.

I not sure Jesus had any
I not sure Jesus had any "real Christian candy."
But, if that is your measure of Christianity I have to wonder at some of your other comments. Certainly the profligate borrowing policies of Reagan, and now Bush, are driving this country to it's knees--"Oh China, won't you PLEASE buy more of our worthless bonds so we can enjoy a few more trinkets?"
Get real!

My confectionary-satire -- not surprisingly -- escaped this fine "Internet Marketing Pro" (NOTE: if you have to tell people that you're "a such-and-such *pro*" on anything but a resume you probably aren't one). Plus, I love how folks tend to not read even the shortest of posts, since I offered no accolades for herr Bush.
If Huckabee wins, America (and Christianity) loses.
I just wish there was someone in the field (either side) worth rolling-the-dice on. We aren't going to get many more chances.
Then again, the primary putzing may be moot since there's still time for the current administration to cook-up a way to invoke martial law, freeze elections and continue in power (remember, folks, the Bush has been a friend of Putin from the start and you should be able to see what's happening in Russia no matter how myopic your vision).
