Be careful what you wish for, McCain wanted Obama to go to Iraq. George Will predicted a few months ago that McCain would regret being seen as pushing Obama in that direction. It is my belief that people who want to attack Obama on cultural and religious grounds are walking into a similar trap. This is the area that he has had to deal with most of his political life. The Warren interviews are a set up right from the beginning. They are intended to showcase Obama’s Christian formation. It is his strength not his weakness. It is also possible, although I am simply guessing, that McCain runs the risk of appearing shallow and uninformed on Christian life. In the meantime, nobody is spending the time to take a hard look at the inherent weakness of Obama’s liberal policy formation.

I hear you, but 20 years at the "God D*mn America!" church will undo a lot of his efforts.

Cheers!

Christians love a repentant. The “GD America” is a political rather than a religious thorn. Those who oppose Obama hear it already. There is not much depth left in that story among the undecided. Again, my point is very simple, if you attack Obama on cultural and religious grounds you are fighting on the very hill he chooses to do battle. A hill where he has already won his share of fights. On the other hand, he is vulnerable on hard issues of political philosophy. So, why is McCain going to a discussion format moderated by an evangelical who is identified as a social moderate? Is nobody paying attention?
