"Huckabee Chooses Jesus as Running Mate"

"But according to Mr. Logsdon, if the Huckabee-Christ ticket makes it all the way to the White House, it could be historic in more ways than one: 'If Huckabee is elected and then something happens to him while in office, we would be looking at our first Jewish president.'

"Elsewhere, a madman attempted to take hostages at former Sen. Fred Thompson's campaign headquarters in Rochester, New Hampshire, but found that everyone had been given the week off."

Ya know, I keep trying to laugh off the Huckabee phenomenon. I think to myself. "OK, he's a nice guy and he has a sense of humor, but if you actually listen to what he's saying: (1) he stands for almost nothing; and (2) what little he does stand for is probably wrong. He seems to be surging now, but it isn't possible that Americans will actually go into a polling booth and vote for a lovable doofus."

And then I think of Ronald Reagan.

What's worse, I then realize that the Reagan thing didn't work out so bad at all.
