The Huckabee cringe factor

On the same day that Mitt Romney is giving a speech praising America's history of religious freedom we see the following quotes from Mike Huckabee in his wife crediting some sort of divine intervention in his campaign's success. Jim Geraghty has the details. Mrs. Huckabee reaches for a Biblical comparison.

Janet Huckabee also admitted she is "very disappointed" in the National Right to Life's decision to endorse Thompson over her husband. "Mike has been a true Right to Life person,” she said. “He's marched in the Right to Life parades for 13 years. He's just been a big supporter [of] pro-life legislation, and it was disappointing to him."

"God's a big God," Huckabee continued. "If he wants us to continue to go and to fight the giants, we'll do that. You remember Jesus feeding the 5,000 with two fishes and five loaves. So, we're multiplying our money. Every dollar spends like a thousand and every prayer we get is like a million bucks."

Yup, they're fighting the "giants" on God's behalf. Jesus fed the hungry; they're spending campaign money. Sure, I see the parallel. Huckabee must like this metaphor since he uses it also. As Geraghty says,

Wow. Huckabee's been endorsed by both Chuck Norris AND Jesus Christ.

Dang. Here I was looking at poll numbers, advertising, and endorsements, when I should have been detailing and quantifying the "not human" factor in the race.
