VIDEO: John McCain on What the President’s Religion Should Be (BeliefNet)

A few months ago BeliefNet interviewed John McCain and asked him what religion he thought the President should be. The Republican presidential candidate told Beliefnet he's uncomfortable with a Muslim president but felt Mitt Romney's Mormonism is a non-issue. Any religion is okay, according to McCain, so long as this candidate "will carry on the Judeo-Christian tradition that has made this country great."

Ah, the warm glow of the political circle continues to encompass us until November.  And this year it seems like in addition to electing a Commander-in-Chief, we are also electing a Pastor-in-Chief, a religious leader, if you will – – at least if you listen to some of the pundits.
