You've made no cogent argument as to how this "extreme" view might affect Huckabee's performance in office. It doesn't amount to a whole lot more than the religious bigotry levelled at Romney's intelligence for believing the "extreme" Mormon teachings. Frankly, I expected something more rational from you than just, "Creationists are stupid."

To get back to the point, though, I don't see how this makes Huckabee a "disaster" to anyone but nit-pickers like you. If you're making your intelligence assessments based off the "6000-year" argument, you can count yourself in the extreme minority.

Did I ever say that this is the only thing I don't like about Huckabee? Stop putting words in my mouth.

If it makes you feel any better, that mosaic is made entirely out of rectums.

You've provided no differentiation between the Joseph Smith story (or other assorted miracles in the Bible), and the idea of a 6,000-year-old earth, except to say one is "undeniable, overwhelming, and definitive" and the other is "extreme". Well, all we need to do is switch your membership to a different faith, and one can re-arrange those adjectives at will. IOW, it's a vacant argument.
You have also provided no connection between such a belief and how it might influence ANY public policy decision. Don't whine to me about painting you with the brush you handed me. Quote:

For the record, Huckabee is not my pick, and I don't think he'll get the nomination. But neither do I think he is a "disaster."

Not sure. Is there a national rectal database where we could try to identify these people?
You can go to artofresistance.org to see the mosaic more clearly. Perhaps you will be able to recognize a few of them. PS there is also a mosaic of Rush Limbaugh made entirely out of painkillers.
