Well, I believe in God and praying for guidance, but religion is a deeply personal thing. When you see them using it as a political ploy, that is what I strenuously object to. We need to separate religion from governing. Period. If I were running, I'd say that my religion is a personal matter and I won't sully my beliefs by discussing it in public. I'd run on my merits, not on my religious beliefs. Catering to the Evangelicals is every bit as bad as catering to the oil companies. It leaves you in political debt, which is the root cause of bad political behavior.

Extremely likeable? I have no idea what you guys see but "extremely likeable" is not what comes to mind when I watch him on the tube making the rounds. I sort of like Huckabee too, he's an extremely likeable guy, but I don't like that his last real job was publicity flack for a Texas televangelist. After Carter and Bush, people who wear their Christianity on their sleeve worry me. When the going gets tough, I'd rather have my leaders making an individual hard pragmatic decision than consulting imaginary beings.
