Re: Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin: The Thread
I do think the Palin religion connection is relevant - partly because the way Obama was skewered for Rev Wright. partly in concern for separation of church/state.
evangelical christian groups make no secret that they want to carry out whatever their mission is. And a major way than can do this is by having as much control of fedl govt as possible. These groups have been very happy with Bush. Not so much with McCain. But obviously they see McCain as better choice for their cause than Obama. Palin is a bone to them.
I do like McCain, and always hoped that his courting of the religious right would not entail sacrificing his values and independence. - but as a guy who claims to be independent, this appeasement of the most fanatical elements of his party is pathetic. Its a desperate move by McCain. I'm losing respect for him.
