@John D: I take your point. I just find it very difficult to consider election issues anything other than concrete policies (eg. We're gonna build another hospital here, have more police there etc etc).
On the one hand, if issues like faith are important to the American voter then you are correct and they are as real an issue as anything else.
On the other hand of course, I'm sure it is possible to argue that this simply reflects the need for certain portions of the electorate to make a bit of a leap into the 21st century (or even the 20th...) and look beyond superstition and faith when choosing their leaders.
Djinn, nice post.
