FW: Oh My God, What A Ticket


In a bold move that could dramatically alter the
playing field of the 2008 GOP presidential race,
former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee today named Jesus
Christ as his vice presidential running mate.

Huckabee has made an increasing number of comments
about his relationship with Jesus in recent debates,
but few Republican insiders expected him to announce
that he was anointing Christ as his vice presidential
pick.

"This could be huge for Huckabee,” said Stenson
Partridge, a veteran GOP consultant. “Among Republican
voters, Jesus Christ is even more popular than Ronald
Reagan< /SPAN>.”

The Rev. Pat Robertson, a supporter of former New York
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, said he was “blind sided” by
the news of Huckabee’s decision: “I talked to Jesus
last night, and he didn’t mention anything about it.”

At a raucous Huckabee rally in Davenport, Iowa, today,
supporters of the former Arkansas governor could be
seen holding signs reading “HUCKABEE/CHRIST ‘08."Ý

It is “highly unorthodox” for a presidential candidate
to select a vice presidential running mate who is a
prominent figure in the Holy Bible, says Davis
Logsdon, dean of the School of Divinity at the
University of Minnesota .

But according to Logsdon, if the Huckabee-Christ
ticket makes it all the way to the White House, it
could be historic in more ways than one: “If Huckabee
is elected and then something happens to him while in
office, we would be looking at our first Jewish president.”
