Watch out, Gov. Huckabee. Sen. McCain could make a play for your voting bloc now. This weekend, the AP asked McCain how his Episcopal faith effects his campaign, and he had a surprising reply:

''It plays a role in my life. By the way, I'm not Episcopalian. I'm Baptist,'' McCain said. ''Do I advertise my faith? Do I talk about it all the time? No.''
