The following comment from Cindy just came in:

Hold on there, I’m an ex-Huckabee supporter present Obama supporter unless possibly old, incoherent, cancer surviving McCain picks Huckabee as VP sidekick — and I perceive you mocking my belief in the rapture and consider it really tacky and ad hominem caricature-baiting not worthy of this fine blog.

I apologize for making light of premillennialist theology, but would just point out in slight extenuation that treating an Obama presidency as a punishment from God was not my thought. I guess, Cindy, that you don’t think so either. That you would only vote for McCain in the event of a Huckabee vice presidential nod from the old guy suggests what the supposed Huckabee double game is all about. An anonymous source has Huckabee at the top of McCain’s VP short list–and Brody smells a trial balloon. I guess you might call it a multi-front campaign. McCain could use some big evangelical names that aren’t Hagee or Parsley. Could Huckabee deliver any besides his own?
