The next few months in exciting presidential campaign slip-ups
Not to cite Paul Waldman any time he writes anything, but his latest blog post is spot-on. He covers two topics: the media tendency to ask Democrats tougher questions on religion than they do Republicans, and the vulnerabilities the Republican presidential candidates face on those same questions. Here's how it starts:
So now John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton have all been asked, with varying results, whether they agree with Joint Chiefs Chairman Peter Pace’s assertion that homosexuality is “immoral.” Much ink has been spilled on their answers. But I haven’t seen that the leading Republican candidates for president have been asked the question, and I’d be interested to hear the results.
Me too! The whole rest of his post is worth reading too.
