The first must be false. Mike Huckabee has already changed the words of the Living G-d for political advancement, although he's certainly not the first to have done so, but he has not yet changed the Constitution (and not for want of desire to). So changing the words of the Living G-d must be easier than changing the Constitution; for the first, you just sit around and listen to your own arrogance and hatred drown out the voice of G-d, for the second you've got to convince an awful lot of people to buy the same delusional bullshit your arrogance and hatred has dreamed up.
As for the second, a surprising proportion of Southerners can tell when a politician is trying to buddy up with them to get their vote. Talk about the Southern diet is usually one of three things: 1) A joke at the expense of a proud group of people for whom that diet often represents self-sufficiency and independence, 2) An attempt to manipulate that same group of people by appealing to their self-sufficiency and independence, 3) Both of the above at once. Tomorrow will tell if too many of the Southerners who get the joke will just stay home on primary day, or if they'll actually turn out to show Mike he can't buy their vote with a particularly awful recipe.
