I wonder why he chose Bali, Indonesia..if I wanted to escape phones, the 
last place I would go in/after1993 after Islamic terrorists bombed the WTC 
would have been to the most populous Muslim country in the world.  Why 
not the Outback?  Why not Kenya?  Why not Hawaii to visit Mom?
Do they have phones in Kansas<g>?

Rob;  I could be wrong, but in the long run, I still think people vote for 
the person at the top of the ticket.  She is not running for president.  
People will vote for McCain or Obama (or in my case, Ron Paul). 

 And, most of us nonbelievers don't really care if religious folk think we 
"are destined for hell".  And , personally, I don't feel threatened by anyone 
else's beliefs as long as they are not shooting at me or stealing my money.

p.s.  How did that feta you were working on turn out?  I still haven't bought 
any whole milk to try that basic recipe you gave me.  We are so used to 
non-fat milk that I forgot to get whole milk when I went to market...bobf

Lots and lots of people will fall behind her for this, though. And you
are right, when she is in Washington, those who oppose her will be the
nonbelievers, those who are destined for hell. Her longtime pastor
questions whether those who voted for Kerry in 2004 will get to
heaven.
