Let's get behind this Huckabee fellow...

"I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that's 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."-- Mike Huckabee

... and push him off a cliff.

The most frightening thing about huckabee is all the popular support he has gotten.

Republican Mike Huckabee has a slim chance of making it to the White House. But that won't stop him from shaking up the GOP race

Six months ago, Mike Huckabee was just another anonymous face on the Republican stage, a folksy former Arkansas governor from Bill Clinton’s hometown known mainly for dropping a hundred pounds and embarking on a public crusade—complete with a book, Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork—to persuade everyone in his deep-fried state to do the same. But in the past few months, as his support has swelled in Iowa, Huckabee has become something else: this election cycle’s John McCain, the liberal media’s quotable, accessible darling who’s giving the GOP front-runners fits.

Tailing Huckabee through New Hampshire, it’s easy to understand the swoon. His campaign is so no-frills that he was late to our interview because he had to iron his own suit. He’s good enough on bass guitar to have opened for Willie Nelson, and he waxes eloquent on health care, the environment, and poverty with a fervor that has gotten him branded as a closet liberal. It’s only when Huckabee talks religion that you realize how conservative he is. Unlike most of the GOP field, he isn’t just trying to woo the religious right. He is the religious right—a former Baptist minister, a believer’s believer on abortion and gay marriage, a skeptic about evolution. But while it may seem strange to hear a candidate say “stewardship of the earth” in one breath and “abortion mill” in another, you should get used to it: Huckabee’s mix of economic populism and social conservatism might just be the future of the post-Bush GOP.
