Jessica interviewed on ATC

A friend, Jess Davis was interviewed on NPR’s All Things Considered over the weekend about the 2008 presidential campaign.
She worked as an intern at the WDL while I was there and I worked with both her parents while at Ellis County. Now she’s News Editor at the student paper for the University of South Carolina.
Congrats to Jess. Keep up the good work.

Advice to Obama

Karl Rove offers this advice to Barack Obama:

If she (Hillary) wins the nomination it will be because her rivals – namely you – were weak when you confronted her and could not look her in the eye when you did. She is beatable but you have to raise your game. Iowa is your great chance for a breakthrough. Win it convincingly and you can build on it in the contests that follow. Lose it and victory becomes much more difficult.

Do you believe the Bible?

From last night’s GOP debate:

“Do you believe every word of this book… and I mean specifically, this book that I’m holding in my hand?”

The question was asked by 24 year old Joseph Dearing of Dallas. According to the DMN, he was disappointed in the answers given. He also hoped Ron Paul would have answered it. I’d be curious to know how he answered it as well.

I don’t know if it was part of Dearing’s point or not, but he appeared to hold up the Holy Bible, King James Version. The version itself was not mentioned during the answers or in the DMN story.

But here’s my question – does a person’s belief in Scripture, the Bible affect how you view them as a presidential candidate?
Is it important that they follow it, believe it’s the literal Word of God, read some of it or none of it?
