A good look at how the Obama campaign used Karl Rove's church outreach strategy from 2004 to win a majority of the religious vote in the recent election. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. However, the article fails to address the ethical issue of preaching politics from pulpit. Interesting that Barack Obama was the one talking about his deep faith in Jesus Christ during the election, while John McCain was insisting that his religious views were private. And yet Sarah Palin was the one characterized as a Christian fanatic, despite Obama having the outrageous preacher. It is almost implied that most Democrats inherently know any profession of faith from a Democrat is just them saying what is necessary to get elected. But when a Republican says it, they probably mean it, which of course means they are religious zealots.
