Huckabee

Taken from the Washington Post today:

"President Bush yesterday urged attendees of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., to unite behind the presumed nominee. Although he did not mention McCain by name, the president said whoever ends up being the Republican nominee will represent conservative values.

Earlier today, Huckabee disputed the assertion that McCain had locked up the GOP nomination and said he won't quit the presidential race.

"I didn't major in math," Huckabee told a cheering crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference meeting, according to the AP. "I majored in miracles."

Just a personal observation:

Say what you will about Huckabee, I can't help but think this guy is adorable. Yeah...yeah...everyone talks about how he is some religious, conservative nut. However in comparison to Bush and/or Romney, this guy is way more likable.

With numerous appearances and participation with Colbert and Conan's shenanigans and as a bass player in a band called, "Capitol Offense"; this guy is like the harmless Christian neighbor who bakes the neighborhood yummy banana bread on Christmas that you can't help but like even if your politics are different.OBVIOUSLY, I don't want him to run our country but it just seems everyone is too ready to take a dualistic approach to this presidential campaign. Huckabee isn't my candidate but you can't help but feel that there is alot less bullshit with this guy than other candidates...including Hillary-who as much as I want to like, is a really unconvincing speaker.

All I am saying is just because he is a conservative Christian doesn't mean he is an evil, horrible person. Maybe just a bit confused and you know...homely and un-hip no matter how hard he tries.
