Obama's insight is that after possibly the worst President is US history, Americans are not simply looking for a better manager of the general store, they are in desperate need of redemption. They are looking for the preacher who will remind them of Gods love for them and show them the path to absolution.

Not all saviors are good and we should be conscious of just how dangerous and volatile a President Huckabee would be as we cheer on his humiliation of McCain until the latter's confirmation as the nominee. ]]>
