The old axiom about separating Church and State is a thing of the past now. Every candidate is judged based on not only on how religious they are and how often they mention God in their speeches, but whether or not they belong to the "right" religious affiliation.
Beyond that, we should be very concerned about what the McCain campaign is doing. No matter what the media says or what new little tidbit about Palin comes out, the first thing out of their mouths is how the liberal press caters to the whims of these 'blatant Democratic Party' attacks. Often, they even preempt commentary from the other side long before anything is fully known about he new controversy. Then they accuse the Democrats of being unpatriotic because they stole a bunch of little American flags after the Democratic convention in Denver and said they had been thrown away.
From what I have heard about McCain, he is an extremely hot-tempered individual, holds a grudge (he has tried to get one Republican aide fired from three separate jobs on which she has worked for the party). will confront other senators with f-bombs if they dare to challenge his legislation, and worst of all, clearly will do, say, and accuse about anything to gain the only thing that matters to him - the presidency. Respect what he went through during the Vietnam War if you want, but if that is he only reason anyone has to vote for him, remember Mayor Rudi from New York and how referencing 9/11 every two minutes did for him.
He now plans to campaign WITH Palin instead of separately. Why? Oh, she is sooooo popular, so how else to remind the voters that HE picked her and don't forget she is on MY ticket.
Not that Obama is doing enough to impress me, but at the rate the Republicans are going, he is going to get blown out of his shoes before he realyzes he needs to step it up.
