It's not just a lawyerly difference
I have been one of the volunteers distributing this flyer in South Carolina, and as a resident of this region -- and a non-Christian -- I can tell you that it's important to counteract this whole "secret Muslim" smear, which is filling up inboxes all over the place. Is the message also "I am one of you?" Yes. Does that make me feel a bit uncomfortable? Yes, but ... I think another message here is "I vote from my heart, I make decisions based on what is right, not just what polls well." Which is a huge distinction vs. Hillary Clinton.
Obama has never said he would govern as a "Christian leader" -- just that he has faith and faith propels him to serve his countrymen. No hint of white supremacist Christian Reconstructionism ... which is kind of the worrying thing about Huckabee. (Well ... one of them.)
