Mike Huckabee has lost his mind.
Yep, that’s right. He can forget getting elected. Because of this sort of stuff Here.
Money Quote:
QUESTIONER: Is it your goal to bring the Constitution into strict conformity with the Bible? Some people would consider that a kind of dangerous undertaking, particularly given the variety of biblical interpretations.
HUCKABEE: Well, I don’t think that’s a radical view to say we’re going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in what’s been historic.
Oh yeah, like Centrists and Independents are going to vote for some idiot that makes statements like that.
What’s more, was this one:
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. 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 thats what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.”
Wow. This dude wants to do away with the Separation of Church and State. I bet these guys wouldn’t be too happy about that.
I don’t know about you, I don’t quite think that this guy is quite ready for prime time. Stick to Church Mike, it can only help.
Huckabee vows to send ’em all home.
Two Words.
Huckabee vows to send all illegal aliens home (via Washington Times)
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee yesterday continued to move to the right on immigration during this year’s presidential campaign, signing a pledge to enforce immigration laws and to make all illegal aliens go home.
The pledge, offered by immigration control advocacy group Numbers USA, commits Mr. Huckabee to oppose a new path to citizenship for current illegal aliens and to cut the number of illegal aliens already in the country through attrition by law enforcement — something Mr. Huckabee said he will achieve through his nine-point immigration plan.
Yeah Right. I don’t buy it. Neither does Michelle Malkin.

Huckabee a huckster?
Not that it’d surprise me any, But……
Huckabee’s Weight Loss Story Bogus?
He Dieted for Our Sins–Or Did He? Republican Undernews! Did Huckabee go bariatric? Plutarch makes the (surprisingly non-weak) case with photos and graphs. … P.S.: The Arkansas ex-governor’s dramatic weight loss is to his campaign what Edwards’ loyalty to his sick wife is to the latter’s campaign. In each case, there are undernews suspicions. In each case, these suspicions are likely to become overnews–i.e. news–if (as is very possible) the candidate in question emerges victorious from Iowa. In each case, apparently, the suspicions could be dissipated by the presentation of routine medical evidence. [How with Edwards? Just between us–ed Aternity-pay Est-tay] …
Backfill: Jonah Goldbeg has one argument against bariatricity. … Powerline commenters debate here. … Another Huck defense here.
Something the media should look into, in a big way.
My Take on the Debates
On the Republican Side. I really did not see a clear "winner". I think that the barbs back and forth were totally uncalled for. I mean, They are supposed to be debating issues, not name calling and mud slinging. Although the off the cuff comments by McCain to Romney were great. Although, Huckabee needs to just leave Romney alone. I mean, Romney has him beat money-wise like 10 to 1, he could bury him, if he wanted to.
The Republicans really need to thin that herd out. There’s just too many of them.
Ron Paul is an total idiot, he needs to go to the Libertarian Party. I mean, he’s coming off looking like the resident psycho of the group. He hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in Hades, so, why continue? It just makes the party look bad.
Fred Thompson came off as totally unmotivated, I think he’ll be out by this coming Tuesday.
On the Democratic side, the barbs between Hillary and Edwards and Obama and Edwards looked totally staged.
As far as a "winner" on the Democratic side, I think Edwards and Obama looked good. They did hold the "Change" banner up and defended it well, Hillary started out well, but ended up looking like a "screaming meme" at the end. It was all about her bragging about how much experience she has. I think people will pick up on that come time for the vote.
Richardson is a nice man, too nice for this race, I look for him to drop out, come this vote, he’s already laid off staffers.
And there you have it, the official of center guy’s take on the Debates.
Huckabee’s Campaign Manager shows his true Christianity.
-Rollins let the f-bomb fly twice and told his blonde female dining companion a joke about flying the Confederate flag in the South Carolina state capitol.
Hmph, So much for that "Christian" Campaign.
Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa
Wow! What a race!
Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa Via Politico:
Mike Huckabee won a convincing victory among Republicans Thursday night, while Democrat Barack Obama posted a narrow and historic win over Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards as Iowans rendered the first true judgments of the 2008 presidential cycle.
Huckabee was declared the winner at 9 p.m. Eastern time, easily besting Mitt Romney – a storyline that was unthinkable just weeks ago. With 41 percent of precincts reporting, Huckabee led Romney by a 31 to 23 percent margin.
Obama was called the winner just before 9:30 p.m.
Truly this is a political election of change. People are tired of the status quo, and people have voted with change. Huckabee represents that change on the Right and Obama on the Left.
I look for this to be a very interesting race. I look forward to following it.
Of course, Romney remains optimistic:
"Congratulations for the first round to Mike," Romney said on Fox News just before 9 p.m. Romney said that despite the disappointing results, he still felt that he would ultimately "be the one with the nomination”
Translation: Congrads, But I’m still going to win! 
I have seen on MSNBC and I have read that turn out was doubled this time. Where there were like 80 people in a district in 2004. There were hundreds this time. This is good, it seems that the American people are interested in this Election. This is such a good thing.
I just look forward to the spin that Hillary and the other candidates that didn’t do so well, spin this to their advantage.
