Democratic candidates spend time in church
The Democratic candidates for governor went to church on Sunday and prayed for victory, as well they might in a race that is neck and neck heading into Tuesday's primary.
Steve Westly, who made his fortune at eBay, and Phil Angelides, a wealthy former developer, have been battering each other with nasty television ads for several weeks. Analysts say voters may respond to the negativity campaign by not voting.
Westly, the state controller, appeared with Rep. Diane Watson, D-Los Angeles, at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, which he joined three months ago. He used his moment at the pulpit to quote the bible and urge people to the polls.
Angelides, the state treasurer, attended morning services at Glide Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco with Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland.

I've never seen or heard of a first African church. Is this new or do I need to pay closer attention? AME churches have been around for a some time. They are probably more "God-fearing" than a lot of UMC churches.

LOL! Point was James McDougal role in Watergate would make Hil and Bill think of Ft. Worth, as that is where McDougal met his Arkancide.
The Resurrection of Mr. McDougal would perhaps postpone our election of our first female president.

Didn't we say months/years ago that Dims (including Hitlery) would attempt to portray themselves as Christians/religious? Co-wink-i-dink?

Never been treated, tests showed nada, zip, zilch. Dr's called it a miracle. Seems like someone's prayers were mighty powerful!

Silverwoman1 wants Longhorns to which BikerGold says, "Ain't getting close to something that swishes its tail to drive away the hoards of flies." Cattle are people too...
Glad to hear it--drag him to church.

Ah, the "Man Bites Dog" headline they told me about back in Journalism School; newsworthy because it never happens normally.
