Our political salvation

Washington Post’s “On Faith” discussion drifted off into the spiritual realm of politics today asking if either Obama or McCain were really “The One” we’re looking for.

The One

I guess John McCain’s campaign figures that their Brittney Spear/Paris Hilton ad polled well the other day because they released an “internet only” ad entitled “The One”; It pokes holes in the inflated ego of The Barack. From Ben Smith; The ad quotes Obama in both serious riffs telling a crowd “we are the ones […]
