He is completely ignorant of both. Mr. Huckabee wants to continue America's slide back into the theocratic middle ages with changes to the U. S. Constitution. Like bumper stickers across America state - his common sense is 'Not Of This World', and as such he has NO place as the leader of the United States. I am dissapointed that Senator McCain refused the invitation. I expected better from him. Then again - he is very busy courting America's zealots, and he couldn't help but anger them by accepting the invitation. After all, if Huckabee and his ilk are right, Science is the new Satan. If that's the case, call me Beelzebub! There’s absolutely no surprise that Mike Huckabee turned down the invitation to debate on the state of science and its role on our future.
