Goodness. Some Democrats I know have been complaining in recent weeks about how religious, and obviously so, are candidates for the Republican nomination such as Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney. One liberal acquaintance of mine said that Mitt Romney's speech of a few weeks ago, in which he identified the commonalities he has with evangelical Christians and stressed that he doesn't want to see religion banished from the public square, was "frightening."
So I wonder what she thinks of this. Quote: "As Mr. Obama traveled around South Carolina this week before Saturday’s Democratic primary, his campaign took on a Christian glow, with shout-outs to Jesus by the candidate, warm-ups by gospel choirs, and glossy leaflets that showed Mr. Obama speaking from a pulpit and clasping hands with a minister, his head bowed in prayer. “Answering the Call,” one piece of literature said in large type. “Committed Christian,” said another —language a bit reminiscent of the kind Mike Huckabee, a Baptist pastor, used to win the Republican Iowa caucus."
