Potentially huge negative news for Huckabee

WorldNetDaily is reporting that Mike Huckabee's campaign is acknowledging that Huckabee does not have the degree in theology that he has claimed to have throughout the campaign:

I'm not enough of an expert on the difference between "religion" and "theology" to parse Huckabee's response:

Is this the same theology degree that makes Huckabee a foreign affairs expert? I think we're seeing some old fashioned
Arkansas boosting (same as boasting) show something of his "Character" I'm sure his answer will satisfy the believers. It will sound something like "I didn't know the S.B. Religion institute wasn't accredited." Whatever his answer is it won't be. I lied because I wanted to be President.

Huckabee's recent resurgence is more a product of the media then anything else I believe. He is spotty at best with the issues, and has not done anything aside from his religious convictions to try and stand out. With this news, and looking at grassroots support, I don't think he has much of a chance at all.

You maybe don't know the difference between a theology degree and a BA with a major in religion, but Huckabee sure does.

No way is there some sort of gray area here. The guy's been lying, plain and simple.
