“The only thing that I know that for sure we’re going to do that we have always done is we’ll go to our church Christmas Eve service,” Huckabee said. “It’s a huge community-wide celebration, and we do that every year. And then we have an unusual tradition that after the Christmas Eve service we go out and eat Chinese food. Don’t ask me why.”

Asked if the tradition is intended to help him better relate to the Jewish community, Huckabee said, “No, it’s Chinese food.”

He was unaware of the Jewish Christmas tradition.

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 Christ 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 Christ 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/CHRIST 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-Christ 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.
