On The Religious Left, Great Expectations
The first priorities for Barack Obama's administration will be the economy and a variety of foreign policy issues. But the burgeoning religious left, which worked so hard to get Obama elected, expects some movement on its issues, including a robust White House office of faith-based initiatives, pove

Howard Dean's Vindication
God-o-Meter wrote a piece for today's Roll Call on the vindication of Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean's much-derided 50-State Strategy, which is largely about reaching out to the nation's more religious voters in the red states:

Evil in any politics will bring about a bad ending. Look at Bush. A person can win on honesty and good character. Why does evil have to prevail. Do it God’s way for a change.

The problem with smear campaigns is that to spread the mud you have to get your hands dirty. McCain doesn’t want the mud on his hands, he will reject this type of politics, hopefully.

First and foremost I find the add quite distasteful and very desturbing. It angers me to see how people take words out of context or only ‘hear’ the words that they want to ‘hear.’ Obama has already defended himself and the Reverend Wright has defended himself. I say take a good long listen to the hour and half long sermon. Ask those who states ‘you can not chose your family, but you can chose pastors.’ I’m sorry does this person even go to church? Who is your pastor Senator Clinton? The media cannot find anything else to TRY to discredit Obama, you have to fight his pastor? Talk about being an AMERICAN, built on the christen faith? hillary Clinton flat out lied about her trip and was allowed to brush her comment under the table. Now to you WXII12; I find that your backing of a down right RACIST ad just shows how North Carolina is still living in the ‘back woods’ on the diversity of America is still as racist today as back in the 1960′s and 1970′s. Boycott your station? I think so!!!
