As long as she is outspoken in support for her husband and his policies, shouldn't she be fair game?

Cindy McCain's basically done nothing at all, but I wouldn't fault the Democrats for highlighting some of her offshore investments and her caked-on makeup.

Yep

That was very, very impressive

Now Obama has support of the two most tenured Senators

Tennessee has always been proud of America.  Well, except from 1861-1866, anyway.

Is McCain officially the one in the race that's pandered the least to Christians?

Old dog learning new tricks. Sort of impressive in its own way.

Organized religion is for weak-minded simpletons who don't have brain power enough to think for themselves.  I don't particularly care which brand of mass delusion you engage in either.  The moment you turn your mind and pocketbook over to someone else, you've LOST.

Faith is entirely different, however.  If I choose to have faith in a deity, that's my business, but the moment I try and convince another person that the god I believe in is right or true or absolute, well, that's the moment that faith becomes corruptible and evil.

How are your kids doing in catholic school these days?

why not. get people to assume bush is running again, maybe that can outweigh all the people who think he's muslim.

I've been fighting that mispercecption about Obama in my classes.  They swear he's Muslim, and I have to try to explain that no, he belongs to the United Church of Christ denomination and is a Christian.  Almost every time, the kid follows with, "But... my mom/dad read it in an e-mail!"

I don't try to put one candidate in front of another, but I at least want my kids to have correct information.  Unfortunately, the internet is as great a tool of misinformation as it is for passing information around the world.

I think when he was very young he was a muslim

No, he wasn't.  From snopes:

Obama communications director Robert Gibbs noted that "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim.  As a six-year-old in Catholic school, he studied the catchecism."  Barack Obama has been associated with the United Church of Christ since the mid-1980s, described himself as a Christian, and says he is "rooted in the Christian tradition."

are you sure?

Honestly, if Obama were some sort of undercover Muslim extremist, that would be more entertaining than anything that's happened in government since Dick Armey called Barney Frank "Barney Fag".
