		<description><![CDATA[Rachel Motte reporting from Saddleback:
I&#8217;ve been amused by recent speculations that Barack Obama may be the antichrist.  After Saturday&#8217;s candidate forum at Saddleback Church, I think we can safely say that he isn&#8217;t.  That would be too far above his pay grade. 
Rick Warren is also not the antichrist, though the numerous outcries [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The summer went very well for McCain. He pulled even to Obama in the polls and is beginning to put together the electoral map to win. See my general take on the race earlier this summer here. That analysis still stands. 
Obama is on the defensive. His appeal at the VFW for McCain to stop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If John McCain picks a pro-choice running mate, I don&#8217;t know what I will do.
He will have thrown away his one great advantage in making many of us feel comfortable with voting for him.
There is a rumor that he is calling around asking what grass roots Republicans will do if he makes this move. Here [...]]]></description>

The political season, after all,  is about to begin in earnest: in only one week the Democrats will open their national convention in Denver, and shortly after that the Republicans will convene in Minneapolis - St. Paul.

		<description><![CDATA[The weirdest of political creatures is the sad soul who cannot fight hard, but then go have a beer with his political opponent. Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neil, then the Speaker of the House, were happy to share jokes after jousting with each other over public policy. 
If Senator Obama needs my vote to win, [...]]]></description>

I am stunned, because I did not know he even had a B game. 
John McCain was better than Senator Obama. I actually liked John McCain, liked him, for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I posted a letter from an Evangelical Obama voter here.
Today is Part III of the series that began here. 
Dear Evangelical Obama Voter,
You are a good friend. 
We work together on many important projects and I am thankful that you can model such an irenic attitude in our disagreements. No Christian should believe politics [...]]]></description>
