| You will be hard pressed to find subjects on which Rev. Robertson and I agree. Even on the subject of this post, my agreement is less with what he said in early November to justify his endorsement of Rudy G., more with what he implied. He said: “ the overriding issue before the American people is the defense of our population from the |

| The 2008 election campaign is certainly proving to be The Campaign Of Faith. First, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney had to try and deal with anti-Mormon sentiments within the GOP and general electorate that have check-mated his Presidential hopes. Now, Barack Obama has had to stress his faith amid false rumors quickly (and at times |

| Will a Republican presidential victory in 2008 do permanent damage to America’s ties to Europe? According to this op-ed article from Financial Times Deutschland columnist Thomas Klau, ‘A Democratic President or a woman President would be seen as a symbol of change. But if a Republican wins the U.S. election of 2008, the long-term |

| Cross-Posted to The Debate Link CNN’s political ticker reports that Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) is going to endorse fellow pro-war Senator John McCain (R-AZ) tomorrow. I’m not sure anyone should find this surprising. Lieberman is not exactly enamored with the Democratic Party after primary voters dumped him 2006, and the |

| On 6 December, Mitt Romney delivered a speech, “Faith in America,” in which he tried to allay certain qualms some may have with his Mormon faith and to lay out his own views on the proper roles of religion and religious expression in American public life. He presented what seemed to me an incorrect and frankly dangerous interpretation |
