A Cop in Every Mosque

A bit lost in my case for Mitt Romney was my offhand comparison of Mike Huckabee to Greg Stillson. But it is worth saying that Huckabee, though an amusing sideshow as a sideshow, is also a frightening prospect to contemplate as a potential nationwide political force.

Plus Huckabee wants to change the constitution to make it accord more closely with the Bible. It's scary stuff.
