Yesterday Buzz Flash reported that the chief shaman at the Falwell Corporation, Jerry's son Jonathan, sent out memos about his version of a god intervening in the Republican caucus race in Iowa-- on behalf of Mike Huckabee.
According to Jonathan Falwell, presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee believes that it is God, not himself, who is behind his rise in the polls: "Mr. Huckabee also said that Divine providence was responsible for his recent surge in the polls in Iowa, as he noted that he is the candidate with much less capital firepower than his rivals."
Former Arkansas Governor Huckabee made his comments during a recent visit to the "hallowed" grounds of the Liberty University campus.
Huckabee mightily impressed "Falwell the Second" when he also "identified the 'fanatic religious zealotry' of Islamo-fascism as a 'real threat' that must be confronted to protect the American way of life."
Whether you believe in the religionist mumbo-jumbo from the world of fundamentalist hucksterism and the modern day Elmer Gantrys, one thing is undeniable: Mike Huckabee is climbing steadily in the Iowa polls. And though Falwell II may interpret this any way he likes, others can make an even better case that the gods are doing this as a favor to Hillary and the Democrats.

Huckabee is now ahead of Flip Flop Mitt, who Iowans have taken a good look at and rejected as a man with neither a moral compass nor a moral anchor and no believable values of any kind other than an insatiable lust for wealth and power. According to yesterday's Des Moines Register, "Huckabee wins the support of 29 percent of Iowans who say they definitely or probably will attend the Republican Party's caucuses on Jan. 3. That's a gain of 17 percentage points since the last Iowa Poll was taken in early October, when Huckabee trailed both Romney and Fred Thompson. Romney, who has invested more time and money campaigning in the state than any other GOP candidate, remains in the thick of the Iowa race with the backing of 24 percent of likely caucusgoers. But that's a drop of 5 points since October for the former Massachusetts governor." Giuliani has 13%, Frederick of Hollywood 9% and McCain managed to tie Ron Paul at 7%.
