As near as I can tell, none of the candidates of either party "support teaching actual science and only actual science in the classroom".
Reading the page linked above and trying to interpret the tea-leaves I'd say that HillBama would want a huger bureaucracy that would be even less efficient than what you've got now (I especially like the lack of merit pay for teachers because we all know that pretty much all teachers are the same...) HuckCain would probably to devolve more control of schools to states, while instituting various programs to "encourage" states to teach faith in science class.
Apart from the single issue of evolution, neither seems very interested in curriculum issues. Pre-kindergarten funding (which I read as day-care for the working poor) and teacher pay/school funding formula issues dominate the policy statements.
I agree that HuckCain would run a low-bullshit campaign, and that's why if it comes down to the race I'm proposing I'd give them better than even odds of winning, although I also wouldn't vote for them. I've written on my own LJ that I think Huckabee is eerily similar to Robert Heinlein's character Nehemiah Scudder, which does not bode well at all.
