Huckabee vs. Romney, An American "Holy War"

This election year has been lots of fun. No really. It has been one of the most fascinating in a while with both parties chock full of candidates it makes for interesting news.
Especially with a mormon running.
There are stories all over about what mormons do and don't believe. The journalists have at least got one speck of the truth in the stories, and then a whole bunch of their own interpretation on what that may mean. One of the main stories was about Huckabee who said in an interview to New York Times "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?" Which in and of itself isn't so bad, it's what he said later that I found laughable--
Huckabee later told CNN his question was taken out of context. But he also apologized to Romney face-to-face. "I said, 'I would never try, ever to try to somehow pick out some point of your faith and make it an issue,'" Huckabee explained. "I said, 'I don't think your being a Mormon ought to make you more or less qualified for being a president.' "
Now, I don't mean to offend anyone who supports Huckabee but, come on! Shall we really go into all the ways that he is trying to say that Romney shouldn't be president because he is a mormon? ("I'm not going to air this ad, I'll just give it to you press guys and you do what you feel is best.")
Historian Jan Shipps (considered one of the foremost non-mormon authorities on mormonism) says "It seems so bizarre to me to see politics going in this direction." And Shipps wonders whether we should do stories now about what Baptist preacher Mike Huckabee believes. After all, Huckabee suggested his surge in the polls is due to divine intervention.
So, on a lighter note, here is a link to a great article about "an unfortunate typo".
Enjoy the politicking!
