“Faithiness” Artifacts from the 2008 Democratic Convention

Posted on August 27, 2008August 27, 2008 by Michael Peabody

I was going to address each story separately, but given that I have limited time and there are simply so many stories, I’m posting some links to interesting stories that are floating around the Web that have to do with this Convention.  Maybe, as one writer below suggests, this happens every election year and we just happen to “discover” it every time, or maybe this emphasis is new.
