In a new ad set to debut tomorrow in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Mike Huckabee puts the "Christ" back in Christmas. Wearing a red sweater and standing before a glowing Tannenbaum as "Silent Night" softly plays, the former Arkansas governor asks viewers if they're "about worn out of all the television commercials you've been seeing, mostly about politics." "I don't blame you," he says. "At this time of year, sometimes it's nice to pull aside from all of that and remember that"--pause, inhale, smile sincerely--"what really matters is the celebration of the birth of Christ." After which he mentions "Christmas" twice more and closes with a final "God bless." This might be the smartest ad of the cycle. For all the observers wondering how the candidates would manage the awkward holiday/caucus overlap, Huckabee delivers a master class.

Your right. Sadly it seems the way we choose our candidates is to sit on our ass and watch pretty commercials. The message gets hidden in the Message. Classic! Even faster than Mitt's monologue of healthy Christianamericanism. Good old faithful GOP constitutes whose attention span is just enough to hear nice Huckabee before going to the fridge and back for an evening douse of sex and violent television shows. Damn it must be great having religion as a cover. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition and be sure to throw hellish teenager in jail who attempt to abort. Heck nobody can prove it was her father, right? And since our guns are ready loaded lets go get them illegal tramp. But don’t get to close. I don’t want to look Gay they might start talking about us again at church.
... We do need a merciful God to save us all.
