For the first time a special forum of questions and answers (which are often debated about) was conducted today where Presidential canidates answered questions about politics, social programs, and religon which were directed at them by CNN hosts and by religious leaders from different faith groups.

McCain did not take part as he had other things to do.

Hillary Clinton came across as the most spiritural of the two and comprehended the felt experience of faith more so then Obama, who had a more matter-of-fact intellectural manner of answering questions. (my opinon)

None the less they were both crowd pleasers and got standing cheers.

If you missed it, in a day or so you might be able to find the whole transcript or video posted on the internet. CNN might post such a link on their webpage.

Topics covered: Abortion debate. Assested suicide. global warming, seperation of religion and state. Evolution verses the biblical 6 day creation. Domestic and global health. Poverty. Why would God allow suffering in the world. AIDS. Torture or misstreatment of POWs.
Does religion have too much influence over poltics? Does life begin at conception? And of course about the commets of Rev Wright.

No questions about Israel's role in the middle east. No questions about immigration as a morality issue. No questions about discrimination.

I will make some more personal comments about their answers later in follow-up postings, in order to leave this O.P. somewhat non-bias.
