Top VP Pick: McCain Has To Work On Evangelical Outreach

CBN:

Minnesota Governor and Vice-Presidential shortlist candidate Tim Pawlenty entered The Brody File earlier this morning. We'll be moving video excerpts throughout the afternoon. In the clip above, Pawlenty talks about how McCain still has some work to do with his Evangelical Christian outreach.

Governor Tim Pawlenty : "John McCain is a person of faith and he is a committed Christian and he is somebody that I think is probably less comfortable being overt about that than perhaps some others might be but his value system and his belief in Christ I think is something that is part of who he is as a person and I think he is somebody who would be well received by Christian leaders and Evangelical leaders and I just want to encourage the McCain campaign to make that effort and to reach out and they are but I think there are a lot of Christian leaders, evangelical leaders who haven't yet been contacted or who haven't been part of meetings who are feeling perhaps, are they going to reach out to me and at a minimum we want to make sure that he is speaking on issues of concern to them and I think you'll see perhaps more of that in the summer and fall."

Is it just me, or does Pawlenty look like "Terry the Turtle"?

Will some americans never be happy until our entire country is run by some church board? How does the religious right think they are any better then Muslim countries that are complete theocracies? No one should have to prove they are more christian then the other candidate, just like they should not have to prve they are more patriotic then the other person.

Does Pawlenty always speak in gigantic run-on sentences?
