I appreciate that you're religious but I don't get why you consider the religion of the candidate the single most crucial factor when considering who to vote for. The US has a constitutionally enshrined separation between Church and State and "checks and balances" system which means that the faith of the man/woman in charge is redundant to the bigger picture of running a nation. Isn't it more important that you vote for a competent person in the White House with a plan to tackle real problems like the failing economy than base that vote on one issue that has little impact on the governance of the nation and which the Supreme Court exists, no matter what it's make up, to ensure doesn't? Just a thought :)
