Rev. Huckabee puts on a "new face" for New Hampshire

CBSNews.com Reports: Avoiding Hot-Button Social Issues, Republican Hopes For Strong Showing After Iowa Win

Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and ordained Baptist minister, cruised to victory in the Iowa caucuses largely by positioning himself as, in the words of one of his own ads, a "Christian leader" - a message that won over the state's large contingent of evangelical Christians.

But in New Hampshire, where reserved, mainline Protestantism is the prevailing creed, Huckabee has dropped the religious references that frequently peppered his speeches before evangelical voters. If he sounds like anyone these days, it's libertarian candidate Ron Paul, with a bit of John Edwards thrown in.

At a Friday event in Henniker, Huckabee made frequent references to the Founding Fathers and notions of liberty and freedom.

"New Hampshire declared its independence six months before the rest of the country finally came around with you guys and figured it out," he told the crowd. "Your license plates say Live Free Or Die. In New Hampshire it’s more like live free, or you will die."

Hucky doesn't understand that Clinton's sax playing was seen as cool because he did it ONCE.

Where have we seen that before, hmm?

I will give him props on his ability to win over the marginally aware in this country

an innocent living creature---man's best friend---an innocent stray dog and his disgusting release of a rapist against all advice (probably due to the fact that he felt pressure from the GOPers since a relative of the hated dem Bill Clinton was one of the victims) speaks volumes about his character. Just what this country needs--not--another faux Christian at the helm.
