He thinks that the only people who have a chance to win are largely unknown?
How does anybody know Pawlenty, Thune, Perry? Barbour some may remember from RNC. And Romney is well known.
Palin Huckabee and Gingrich have no chance?
This guy writes for the Boston Phoenix, so, it’s unlikely he has any idea.
This guy is a lefty?
Yeah he is gonna be surprised.
Not sure. But the rag he writes for is
McCain should have taken Pawlenty deliver Minn) instead of Sarah, but then there would be no Sarah. sigh
I see a few creationists on that list. While the GOP is majority evangelical, the general population is far from it, and so it would be foolish to consider a creationist seriously. This is not a comment on the issue itself, just on the wisdom of running a creationist.
You mean like GWB and RWR?
Well, you can tell alot about a person by who they write for.
I wasn’t aware of their views, but it’s more of an issue now in any case.
He says”But what do I know”?.Not much evidently.
We need a president who knows he is not supreme. Secular humanism is rotting this country from the inside out.
Aside from that I don’t think it’s an election issue.
Don’t make the mistake of underestimating the importance of this issue to those who think evolution is more than a theory. The liberals will hold their fire on this during the primaries and then let us have it in the face.
Also don’t make the mistake of thinking creationists and those who believe in God are two coterminus sets. They overlap. So the alternative to Huckabee, Pawlenty, Bachmann, Palin et. al is not necessarily an atheistic secular humanist.
Sure, God forbid that we should consider a candidate who fears God and believes the Bible is HIS Word...
We need leaders who rise above those rubes clinging to their Bibles and guns...Like that fellow in the White House. He's smart.
I would never, ever vote for an atheist. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Castro...all atheists.
A belief in God means that a leader isn’t convinced of his own goodhood. That’s a good thing.
Um....92% of Americans believe in God.

I don’t think creation/evolution is going to be an issue in the presidential race.
For the record, 61% of Americans believe the biblical creation account, according to a Washington Times poll. A variety of polls have been done in American in the recent decade and the ones I have read have the majority believing in direct creation, anywhere from 60 to up in the 80 percents. Even if you take the low, 60, you don’t really have an issue here.
