We really have no idea who will run. Hillary? She'll kill her own campaign with her dumb comments. Obama? My choice, personally...Romney? You seriously think the American people will vote for a Mormon? Nothing against them, but just like you, people make their choice based on 'religious grounds'...rather than actually political values. Thompson has strong showing on numerous polls, and he seems like the proper 'conservative'....don't know where he stands on religious ideas. He has other things that I have issues with though.
You make it seem like one side is 'worse' religiously than the other. Yet, both sides are going to pander to the religious...both left and right...to gain votes. Its a fact of American politics.

well lately one side has been worse than the other. it wasn't always like this, and hopefully it can change in the future, but as of right now if i were an American, there is no way i'd put my faith in whomever wins the Republican nomination
and as for Romney, his religous values ARE his political values. that was the whole point of the God's Warriors segment on Christians, they've blurred the line between politics and faith so bad that for some candidates there is no difference. the big thing is seperation of church and state. if i knew a candidate was guaranteed to not let their religous views interfere with how they ran a country, then i wouldn't care if they believed in the flying spaghetti monster. but as it stands right now, the more right wing and devout a christian candidate is, the less likely that is to happen
