Mike Huckabee Insists God is Swaying Voters in His Favor

Mike Huckabee seems like a nice guy. He's friendly and articulate, and he has carried himself fairly well during the Republican primary debates. There's only one foreseeable problem with his candidacy. Mike Huckabee is clearly batshit crazy.

In fact, Mike Huckabee thinks God is swaying voters, and attributes his own surge in recent polls to prayer.

Now, we've all seen what results when God selects our president. Our current commander-in-chief George W. Bush has stated time and again that God delivered him directly to the White House. (Yes, dear readers, it was God, not Governor Jeb Bush who fixed it so that George W. Bush would "win" the state of Florida in the 2000 election.)

Can this nation really endure another of God's sub-par picks?

Well, perhaps Mike Huckabee is wrong, and God is not persuading voters after all. But Mike Huckabee would certainly take issue with that assessment. When asked by a young man what Huckabee attributes his recent surge in polls to, Huckabee responded:

"There's only one explanation for it, and it's not a human one. It's the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of five thousand people. And that's the only way that our campaign could be doing what it's doing. And I'm not being facetious, nor am I trying to be trite. There literally are thousands of people across this country who are praying that a little will become much. And it defies all explanation. It has confounded the pundits, and I'm enjoying every minute of their trying to figure it out. And until they look at it from an experience just beyond human, they'll never figure it out. And that's probably just as well. That's honestly why it's happening."

All right. Huckabee didn't identify God by name, so he could have been referring to any supernatural power when he said "beyond human." Perhaps he meant that aliens were using mind control to sway Iowa voters. Or maybe there are vampires working over the undecided in New Hampshire. But frankly, I don't think that was what Mike Huckabee was referring to. I think he was referring to God.
