The very last way I ever expected to see religion enter a presidential election.  Utterly blasphemous, apropos the left, and yet somehow oddly appropriate and funny.

This is silly, but it makes a couple interesting points.  Hillary's nomination is presumptive enough that she can run against the Republicans already.  Secondly, it says who she is worred about.

The Question must be one of Romney's talking points this week.  There was the Nightline piece previously discussed — There is a new AP piece (which makes it look like the liberal MSM is going to turn Mosteller into the proverbial bad penny.  Turning to her in this circumstances should violate even the MSM idea of unbiased) — and FOXNews.  Nothing new, but he is talking about it.  Could it be because he is in South Carolina?

Lowell:  You'd think the AP could at least note that Mosteller is a long-time McCainiac.  That is, assuming the AP writer knew that.

The American Prospect thinks Romney's evangelical problems are over.  I do think evangelical objections have been reduced to minimal effectiveness.  That said, however, there are some remaining that will manage to be heard from time-to-time, and the left will capitalize on it faster than Indianapolis in the month of May.  I think a more realistic appraisal is that Romney has enough traction that evangelical fence-sitters now have to seriously consider him or risk being marginalized.

Things like this out of the UK are where the real church-state lines should be drawn. 

The NYTimes is so far behind the curve with this story as to render themselves irrelevant.  Old media trying to do a story about how fast new media moves is kind of like asking a glacier to tell you about a rabbit - all it sees is a blur.

Extra, Extra Update:  Send in the clowns, there ought to be clowns.
