Religion is in this nominating process and it is not necessarily a good thing. The reason is that religion is being relegated to PC material. Race is in this process too. Perception of Obama by the media, by international pundits, is such that now we have a charismatic Christ-like creature in Obama and while his issues are not fully explained, he is held to be above the fray; above race and religion. No one really knows whether he is a Christian; his church and pastor are a bit extreme and no one knows if he thinks of himself as black or what? No one knows how he views Isalm either. He talks about no enemies and that he wants a Muslim Summit. He is not angry against people except those who want war against Islamofascism , or what he calls bigots, or conservatives or business. Yet all of these groups seem to be having stars in their eyes and overlook any agenda by Obama. He is winning across many lines, race, religion, sex, economic status. Obama's people do not want Clinton and might not vote for her if she steals this nomination. The same could be said for Clinton's people. They might not support Obama. But they might. The perception is that he is a phenomenon , a new Messiah, a different pol, though no one has analysed his stands. He is a tax and spend liberal. He is inexperienced in any international problem. He is unknown but seems loved now. He is even more leftist than Hillary. How will religion and race play out in Nov.?? When will liberals ask voters to seek Obama because Jesus is his mentor? We know that will not happen to McCain!!! If Evangelicals do refuse to vote McCain, will they lose their minds and vote for Obama? Or will they stay at home? This race , I believe, will see perceptions win over reality. I see a huge surge across the states for CHANGE at any price. Liberals loved the phrase, PEACE at any price. Or BETTER RED THAN DEAD. American institutions are not beloved by the Left. Are there still enough Americans, right, left, middle, who will not give into just utopian perceptions? Frankly, I don't know anymore.
