For me at least, this 40 minute video is a pretty remarkable thing. Barack Obama speaking to a church charity about the role of faith in progressive society. He speaks as a Christian, but his words are thoughtful, attentive, tolerant, complicated. Even as an atheist I am persuaded and almost moved.
I would vote for Clinton for the Dems; she strikes me as having less potential for greatness, but more potential for competence.
For the Republicans, i guess i would want McCain as pres because he is the least crazy, but i would want Huckabee as the candidate because he would be easiest for the Dems to beat.
As you may find, most people can more strongly express themselves through the art of writing. Unfortunately, most people are jerks.
