How did you cover McCain’s view of church and state issues without mentioning his interview with BeliefNet in which he endorsed the idea that America was founded as a Christian nation and stated his preference for a Christian President? Here’s a link to a CNN story on the matter:

Hi Jack,
Well, there’s a LOT of news out there, and we can’t possibly know about all of it or comment on it. Thanks for pointing us to this info, nonetheless.
