“Who is your favorite author?” Aleya Deatsch, 7, of West Des Moines asked Mr. Huckabee in one of those posing-like-a-shopping-mall-Santa moments.
Mr. Huckabee paused, then said his favorite author was Dr. Seuss.
In an interview afterward with the news media, Aleya said she was somewhat surprised. She thought the candidate would be reading at a higher level.
“My favorite author is C. S. Lewis,” she said.
Well, I thought he was going to say God...

Well, that' still a little better than 'multiple' Mitt Romney's answer when asked a similar question. He said one of his favorite books was L Ron Hubbard's (yes, the whackjob who founded Scientology) 'Battlefield Earth' which came out as a movie a couple of years ago and nearly--and rightfully so--almost destroyed John Travolta's career....ooops....that gives me an idea for my next post.
Out of the mouths of babes...
Sometimes, I think it's children who should be given the right to vote. Once you reach 18, take the right away.
