While Tribe’s political remarks may have seemed slightly out of place—one listener joked that “there wasn’t very much God in there,” and Tribe offered his “apologies to the separation of church and state”—attendees noted that there was no such thing as a “typical speaker” or a “typical subject,” and that views from across the political and religious spectrum are often highlighted...
...Fernando contingent is premature, it is nothing like pockets of San Francisco, where there has been a celebratory mood since the weekend, at least among those who attend African-American churches. On Sunday, more than 200 African-American congregation members marched through the hilly streets to city hall to cast early votes.

...Hagan, who has been a Sunday school teacher and is a regular church-goer, fired back Wednesday. "This is a fabricated, pathetic ad," she said, "How dare she attack my faith. Is Elizabeth Dole that desperate to keep this Senate seat?" A day later, Hagan actually filed a defamation suit against Dole over the ad; the Republican's campaign responded by saying that it stands by the ad and that "This lawsuit is frivolous, and we will file a motion to dismiss."
