McCain & Obama At Saddleback
Flopping Aces — Weak weak weak When asked the same question McCain immediately answered “at the moment of conception.” (check out Mike’s post below for more on this non-answer) One of the reasons I respect Bush so much is he is willing to answer the tough question, even if the answer pisses people off and brings down the poll numbers. McCain’s performance tonight reminded me of this kind of attitude. He took a position on every question…not waffling…not uncommitted as Obama did. Do you want this kind of ...

Above Obama’s ‘pay grade’
Political Animal — When I watched the presidential candidate forum at Saddleback Church the other night, I took notes with a certain perspective in mind: which of Obama’s responses were going to be used against him by the right? Maybe I haven’t been reading enough conservative blogs lately, because I didn’t see the angry response to this remark coming: “Now, let’s deal with abortion,” the Rev. Rick Warren said. “Forty million abortions since Roe v. Wade. You know, as a pastor, I have to deal with this all of the time. All of the pain and all of the ...
