Last night I had turned on the news to see how the Iowa Caucus was going. I cheered when I saw that my candidate was winning (full disclosure...he's been my candidate for a full 36 hours now...LOL!). Here's the conversation with me and the boys:
Jacob: What are you cheering about?
Me: Looks like my guy won.
Jacob: Who's your guy?
Me: Mike Huckabee.
Jacob: I don't like him at all.
Me: That's right...I forgot you're a Democrat.
Jacob: I don't know what that means but I like Ron Paul.
Me: Dad would be proud.
Jacob: I know!
Daniel: I like your guy! Who's your guy?
Me: Mike Huckabee.
Daniel: Mike Maccabee?
Me: *laughing* Not Maccabee...Huckabee.
Daniel: Oh. Mike Huckabee. It'd be funnier if it was Maccabee. *begins singing a song about Judah Maccabee he learned in Sunday School*

Great conversation. I think Maccabee is funnier too.
I think I may side with Jacob on liking Ron Paul it's too bad that the press doesn't seem to know he's running.
Mike is sorta-kinda campaigning for Ron Paul, so he'd be happy to hear that you're a supporter as well. :)
In a bold move that could dramatically alter the playing field of the 2008 GOP presidential race, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee today named Jesus as his vice presidential running mate
Huckabee has made an increasing number of comments about his relationship with Jesus in recent debates, but few Republican insiders expected him to announce that he was anointing Jesus as his vice presidential pick.
"This could be huge for Huckabee , said Stenson Partridge, a veteran GOP consultant. Among Republican voters, Jesus Christ is even more popular than Ronald Reagan!
The Rev. Pat Robertson, a supporter of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, said he was blindsided by the news of Huckabee's decision:
"I talked to Jesus last night, and he didn't mention anything about it".
At a raucous Huckabee rally in Davenport, Iowa, today, supporters of the former Arkansas governor could be seen holding signs reading "HUCKABEE/ Jesus in 2008".
It is highly unorthodox for a presidential candidate to select a vice presidential running mate who is a prominent figure in the Holy Bible,says Davis Logsdon, dean of the School of Divinity at the University of Minnesota. But according to Logsdon, if the Huckabee-Jesus ticket makes it all the way to the White House, it could be historic in more ways than one: If Huckabee is elected and then something happens to him while in office, we would be looking at our first Jewish president.
Mike Maccabee... the All-American JEWISH activist choice! Ha, that's funny.
I like Daniel's way of doing politics. "I like your guy... who is your guy?" Of course, I'm a grown woman and wouldn't possibly choose a candidate that way. I instead ask, "What do you think about -- ? Is he a good guy?"
