What was more impressive about yesterday's primary, the fact that Rev. Wright was on so many voters minds or that Obama managed to largely overcome all the negative feelings about his former pastor. In North Carolina and Indiana, almost half of Democratic voters said the Wright situation was important. Those voters broke for Clinton 57 to 41 in North Carolina and 72 to 27 in Indiana. Just imagine how much more lopsided those figures would have been had Obama not denounced Wright last week. Even with Wright at the fore of voters' minds, Obama still managed to win big in North Carolina and lose small in Indiana.

'Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.' , John 14:13-14
Jesus, please let Sen Clinton defeat Sen Obama, for I have made a deal with Mohammad who is a muslim and he supports Sen Obama's bid for nomination, and if Sen Obama wins, I have to go to a mosque and learn more about Islam. But if Sen Clinton wins, Mohammad would have to go to a church and learn more about you. Nothing is impossible for you my Lord, please save me my Lord because I really don't want to go to a mosque.
Of all the hairbrained bets to make. :-) Come to think if it, it might actually do you some good to learn more about Islam - then you would realize that Muslims already know about and honor Jesus as a prophet and that Obama is actually a Christian. In case you think I am a Obama supporter, I'm one of those pesky independents that is still waiting to see what the candidates show me once we get to the general election (my first choice for president was one of the candidates that dropped out) so I don't currently have a "dog in this fight". But I do think that if you didn't want to take the risk of having to learn about another faith, you probably shouldn't have made the bet. Good luck to whichever of you wins.
Albert, your false "prayers" have about as much hope as an amputee does of having his leg grow back.
Ever hear the One about bearing false witness??? (Hint: It's a sin.)
