I found myself charmed by Mike Huckabee during the Republican YouTube Debates, despite disagreeing with almost everything he says. He is definitely a funny, genial guy who is a great public speaker, probably due to his background as a Southern Baptist minister. However, he is crazy, and it's kind of incredible that he's even being considered as a presidential candidate. Some fun facts I learned from The New York Times Magazine's cover profile of him:
- He is an admirer of Jerry Falwell
- His favorite restaurants in Manhattan are T.G.I. Friday's and Olive Garden
- He wrote his own slogan: "Faith, Family, Freedom"
- He used to be a publicist for the Texas televangelist James Robison
- He wears Tevas
I think those are enough reasons for me to never, ever consider voting for him. Tevas? Please.
