Huckabee: "God Gave Me 10% In the Polls"

Or something like that. Please God, help me believe that our electorate isn't so half-brained as to actually be drawn to this loose-skin, snake-oil salesman. Please.

STUDENT: Recent polls show you surging... What do you attribute this surge to?

HUCKABEE: 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. (Applause) That's the only way that our campaign can 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 has. And it defies all explanation, it has confounded the pundits. And I'm enjoying every minute of them trying to figure it out, and until they look at it, from a, just experience beyond human, they'll never figure it out. And it's probably just as well. That's honestly why it's happening.

Wow. A "non-human factor". I'd be more apt to go with it if by non-human, he meant some kind of giant mutant tortoise that is traveling the country campaigning for him. His very own turtle version of Oprah.
