Obama isn't running for head preacher. Palin is running for government position. What political groups she's affiliated with is infinitely more important to me than what church the candidate goes to.
Sarah Palin and the Alaska Independence Party. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHFY1otOWjQ "Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. There's a joke, she's a pretty good looking gal, there's a joke goes around we're the coldest state with the hottest governor. And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town -- that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along -- she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won't go into that. She also had about an 80% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership." I'll freely admit that I don't have a good gut feeling about this woman and that biases my opinions, but there seem to be a lot of things coming out about her that aren't flattering. As for Obama and his church...I see churches, all churches, as wacky, some are wackier than others, but all wacky to me. The problem is that all the candidates go to some form of church so they all cancel each other out.
