Governor Huckabee is not a Mormon expert, in the course of a very long interview, while on a two hour drive with a journalist that was something of a religious expert, in fact that had just published his own book about the relationship between Evangelical Christians and Jews, he asked a simple question, the rest is liberal smear trivia.

Yeah, whatever. If that was even remotely true then he is not presidential material because he has to be sensible about such things. Mike Huckabee was well aware that within a two hour interview only so much will be used for a story. He said his "question" knowing full well it would get top billing. It's a cheap trick to wonder out loud to a reporter about another's religion and then play it off as an honest inquiry. Interviews for presidential candidates are not the forum to "inquire" about other faiths but to reaffirm ones own and reach out to others. I've lost alot of respect for the Baptist Church for their silence. I wonder if they'll go to Salt Lake City again for a national conference and repeat their religious mooning of the Mormon Church on their turf. Baptists and Christian charity - yeah right!

Don’t forget that Huckabee was the keynote speaker at that “mooning” conference.

A journalist and a founding editor of the ‘Jerusalem Report magazine’, and author of ‘American Jews, Christian Zionists, and One Man’s Exploration of the Weird and Wonderful Judeo-Evangelical Alliance’ Hardcover, on a two hour drive with an ex preacher governor running against a field that included a member of the Mormon family.

It would be shocking if many questions of that nature had not come up, now that Romney is fading into memory, think about silly it was to make that out to be something earth-shattering.
