That  many people that have no interest in religion are suddenly
interested in  the man's preacher's politics rather than the man's
politics. The same  people have no interested in the other candidates
religion or lack  thereof.

That is exactly the point, no-one drew this connection other than Obama  
himself. He identified this man as his mentor, titled his own autobiography  
after 
one of Rev Wrights speech titles, named Wright godfather of his children  etc 
etc etc. When a candidate styles themselves after another man to this level  
certainly we should be looking at the mentor too. I also seem to remember all 
 
the talk was about our Mormon candidate not long ago, and what that would 
mean  for the country. Can you say you didn't hear all the media references 
to  
Huckabee and his support from the religious right??? 
 
 


For  the most part the 60s generation utterly failed to follow though
on the  movement. They became yuppies. Now they are aging conservative
yuppies  grasping for excuses to not take racial divisions to the next
level of a  solution.
 
This is kind of funny to me, I have always associated the Dems with the  
ageing hippy crowd,
after watching Clinton talk up their 60's ideals, and anti vietnam history.  
After watching the
James Taylors and others from that era playing at the Dem fundraisers etc.  I 
am not saying
I am right about this,  perhaps their are some of the old hi;;ies in  the Rep 
crowd, just never
noticed a connection before.
