One out of four Americans identifies as evangelical. A recent Pew survey of their opinions, however, found a diversity that should give political pundits pause and fuel Obama's efforts to woo them.

When you say "Israel Lobby," people tend to think "AIPAC." Many people don't realize that a key component of the "Israel Lobby" consists of people who call themselves Christian.

This latest round of scandal comes just as a coalition of progress activists has delivered a 43,000-plus signature petition calling to strip Lieberman of his chairmanship and rank in the caucus.

How did this country become so colossally retarded? Sure, there will always be the lunatic fringe, but they belong on the fringe -- not playing host to presidential candidates.

Matt Taibbi: "I think there was a lot of real anger there and I got caught up in that, I think unfairly because I'm not a misogynist, I'm a misanthrope."

That most of the crowd loved McCain's speech is a sad reflection on AIPAC, and that it is reaping what it has sown in moving so aggressively to the right in recent years.

Now that Hagee's political allies have listened to the preacher's sermon identifying the Antichrist as a homosexual Jew, how can they still share a stage with him?
