Yesterday the Democrat candidates took to the stage separately at Messiah College to talk about their faith. I think they are handling this issue brilliantly and McCain is dropping the ball. He should have showed up and demonstrated that he doesn't have problem with faith. He could tell the audience that he doesn't have all the answers as Clinton did repeatedly. I think that the audience would have respected him for it. Now it just looks like he's ducking the whole debate and evidently people want their candidates to talk about their faith.
The two candidates were questioned separately at the forum at Messiah College near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which was broadcast nationally on CNN.Here's the first of five videos for Obama at the forum:The invited audience included leaders from several different faiths who asked questions on abortion, euthanasia, HIV/Aids and the presence of God in the candidates' lives.
Both Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama are courting the religious vote, which holds considerable clout in US politics.
Here's the first of 6 for Clinton:

Well, considering that there were probably more people in the auditorium that actually watched it...
michele, it's not difficult. i believe you can do it. try. to. focus. on. the. word. MONGER.
oh, nevermind. it's like trying to describe a horse to a horse.
Michelle, let's do the math... war in Iraq - 4,000 war on unborn children (for the sake of personal 'rights') - 800,000 per year (48,000,000 so far) WHO ARE THE WAR MONGERS?!?!?!
"urges or attempts to stir up war"
I am not aware that Obama wishes to or is actively engaged in "urging" war or "stirring up" a war - ANY war. That seems to be the purview of the Bush/Cheney/Rove mal-Administration. Get a clue.
i think we've beat that dead horse. but, just for good measure:
monger monger monger monger monger monger monger monger monger
starts with "M", ends with "ONGER", rhymes with "bush couldn't have been WRONGER."
