Is McCain resorting to racial attacks?
In the final lap of the U.S. presidential race some believe Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) attacks against Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) character have gone too far and, for some, are even racist. McCain was sharply criticized after the debate for referring to Obama as "that one."
Political Endorsement from the pulpit:
A group of pastors around the country are angling to weigh in on the presidential election from an unlikely platform — their pulpits. Although elections have long been linked to faith issues, churches were banned from direct involvement in political campaigns because of tax-exempt status.
