A Pastor For President?

You know from time to time I have thought about running for political office. l have often come to the conclusion that I couldn't get elected, and even moreso that if I were to get elected, I'd have real problems getting reelected. I would like to set some things straight, and that never goes very well in office. Anyway...

I've been paying more attention to Mike Huckabee as most of those paying attention to the news have been. It is interesting to see his race, because he and I hold a common faith and vocation. He used to serve as a Southern Baptist pastor. I find it interesting because he comes under fire for both his faith and work history, and is portrayed often as a kook because of those things. I also think it's interesting that he is constantly compared with Mitt Romney because Mitt is a Mormon. Their faith has become front and center in the media coverage. So Mitt's a Mormon, and Hucks a Baptist. Can anyone tell me what denomination the Reverend Jackson or Rev. Al Sharpton are from? I don't ever remember hearing much about their faith as an issue?

See I couldn't get elected...but then, why would I want to leave Severn River Church?

They're from "The Church of St. Martin the King and All Civil Rights Angels".

BTW, "Huck" was the governor who followed Clinton in Litle Rock, Arkansas. It should provide valuable experience in cleaning up messes.
