"And I haven't heard a comment on any of McCain's absurd statements"
I guess these questions are directed at me, David.
Religious leaders are usually gifted speakers with large audiences. The role of this committee was and is to speak to as many people as possible with the hope of securing as many votes as possible for Obama.
Why would I have made any comments on absurd statements made by McCain? My comment on Wright was made only to correct your comment that he was not part of the campaign. I checked the thread anyway and the only McCain quote that could fit the "absurd" bill was one you posted about Palin being the greatest VP choice ever. This may be absurd but it's harmless. It is the kind of thing that politicians say about their friends and running mates. On the other hand, if he meant that she's the candidate that has most helped a presidential candidate in the polls then she may well be the best choice ever.
