...chief executive of what is arguably the one major swing state McCain absolutely has to win in November. As a result, as he tries to balance his own convictions with a need to assure Florida's large number of independent voters that he and McCain are on the same page, Crist's stances are being scrutinized almost as closely as the Republican nominee's. "People now see a causal linkage [to McCain] in everything he says," notes political analyst Susan MacManus of the University of South Florida in Tampa...

Now we confront a moment of decision ... We want unity, but not at the cost of relegating Christ to the position of another wise teacher, who can be obeyed or disobeyed. We earnestly desire the healing of our beloved Communion, but not at the cost of rewriting the Bible to accommodate the latest cultural trend. We have arrived...
