Imagine if you took the fluff questions out of the YouTube debate and asked questions that matter. Ask Huckabee, as an example about his belief in Biblical Inerrancy. Not as a question of his faith but his critical thinking skills. How did he derive that the eighth generation translation of oral stories are absolute and, as an example man and dinosaur lived together, something that has to be assumed if the Bible is inerrant and literal. What tangential Critical Thinking skillset was used to make that fundamental decision in his life and, as President how are we going to be sure that those same decision skills are not used when a real decision has to be made that affects everyone's life and wellbeing, not just his personal faith.

Damn bear! I half-agree w/ you again!!
The drive-by media is liberal but ratings are key, by-and-large, and I would like to see Huckabee outed too--I don't turst him; but those two issues are apples and oranges IMO.
