I've posted pretty much the same thing concerning the Hagee/McCain "connection". There's a lesson to be learned here,affiliations with a controversial pastor remain fair game. This is especially true when the candidate "sought" the endorsement! Even Obama stated that his affiliation with his church is a valid issue. One's religious affiliation can help or hurt a candidate.Obama tried to distance himself from Wright before the story broke by disinviting him from some of his planned appearances.
