I've recently been somewhat skeptical of Huckabee in his persistent use of the word "faith" in a non-specific manner. It is still disappointing to me that there is no mention of Jesus, God, or the Bible on his website Check it out:

...and he usually only mentions these things by name in interviews with religious news medias. However, he is running a national campaign for a secular office, so I can understand the difficult balance he is trying to hold between letting his faith in God define his character while still appealing to Americans of other religious (or non-religious) backgrounds. Because, if he does become the next President, he won't just be the President of Christians...he'll be the leader of all Americans - Muslims, Jews, and Agnostics alike. So, I suppose a small amount of ambiguity is understandable, to some degree.
I did, however, enjoy reading the interview, and it was definitely nice to learn a little more about the man's day-to-day faith out on the campaign trail. I appreciate the inclusion of specific scriptures, the insight on his personal devotional practices, supplication from his friends and colleagues, and his plan to bring the Constitution in-line with God's standards for mankind as outlined in the Bible.
