Romney Can't Find Christmas Values, Only Spars with Polished Preacher

POSTED BY Raleigh-Elizabeth Smith, 19 December 2007

Mike Huckabee, the preacher (but not seminarian... controversy!), has Christmas down pat at this point. And so it's no surprise that his latest political ad includes garland, all manner of ornaments, and a blue spruce.

But what is surprising is that Mitt Romney's doesn't. (Wasn't he just telling us that Mormons are Christian too?) Romney has spent his latest advertising dollars not on his well wishes to the Christian Right on their favorite holiday (no presents are exchanged on the ~~anti-choice day~~ Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity), but rather, he's spent his Christmas loot on attack ads directly targeting Mike Huckabee. This, despite the fact that you can buy a Mitt Romney ornament for your tree.
