First job for Ed Rollins--save the candidate from himself.

"I have a bachelor of arts in religion and a minor in communications in my undergraduate work. And then I have 46 hours on a master's degree at Southwestern Theology Seminary. So, my degree as a theological degree is at the college level and then 46 hours toward a masters -- three years of study of New Testament Greek, and then the rest of it, all in Seminary was theological studies, but my degree was actually in religion."

Hmmm. Sounds like Mike has a lot more theological education than his director of research claimed.

Governor Huckabee doesn’t have a theology degree. He only spent a year in seminary.

Let's remember what this is all about--Huckabee desperately trying to throw the media off what he knows and doesn't know about Mormon theology.

"I don't know much about Mormonism..."

"The reporter knew more about Mormonism than I do..."

"I do know a lot about Islam..."

"I have a theology degree"

"I don't have a theology degree"

"I only spent a year study theology"

"Actually I have an undergraduate degree and 46 hours of a masters degree..."

All this avoid too many questions about what Huckabee actually "knows" about Mormonism, Catholicism and any other religion the Southern Baptists label a "cult". A little sleight of hand--take the small hit to avoid the really big one...
