...lived in one house for five and a half years - in prison," a refrain McCain himself repeated more recently during an appearance on The Tonight Show. When an Obama staffer suggested, without evidence, that McCain might have left the "cone of silence" before a forum at Rick Warren's Saddle Creek Church, McCain spokeswoman Nicole Wallace said, "The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous." And in a speech this week questioning Obama's foreign policy judgment and interpretation of the end of the Cold War, McCain himself mentioned...
With Evangelical Christians routinely trashed by the media, it was refreshing to read your positive and evenhanded article on Rick Warren, a humble man working his hardest to make a difference for the poor [Aug. 18]. Now there's something that people on both sides of the political aisle can get behind. Andy Horvath, ELVERSON...
...glad to hear that Pastor Warren is starting to inject a little love into right-wing Christianity. Helping others is certainly an improvement over its usual focus on forcing women to keep unwanted pregnancies and preventing gays from marrying.

...Obama seems not to have fully assimilated what should be the message of his campaign: It's the economy, egghead. The economy was almost entirely missing from his dialogue with Pastor Rick Warren at Saddleback Church - and there were more than a few opportunities to insert it. When Warren braced him on abortion, Obama fumbled around, attempting to sound reasonable. He should have said straight out, "We're gonna disagree on this one. I respect your view on abortion, but I'm pro-choice ... And you know, Pastor Rick, Jesus never mentions abortion in the Bible. He did say, though...
