Huckabee Merges Religion, Politics in Christmas Ad

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, has continued his merger of religion and politics with a new TV ad that reminds people that the Christmas season is about Christ. "At this time of year, sometimes it's nice to ... just remember that what really matters is the celebration of the birth of Christ,'' said the former Arkansas governor, with a Christmas tree over his right shoulder and a harp gently playing "Silent Night" in the background.
