For some light humor this morning, brought to you by Scott Bateman over at the Huffington Post…animation and Huckabee!

For an animator who likes to work with found audio, the 2008 presidential race is an embarrassment of riches. Candidates have multimedia material all over their web sites and MySpace pages, and there’s always YouTube for the stuff the candidates don’t want you to see or hear.

While most people who watch this material are either trying to make an informed choice or are really bored at work, I’m watching these short videos in search of comedy gold. And it’s there, if you know where to look.

So here’s a short animation of Republican contender Mike Huckabee, based on actual audio from his MySpace page.
