Apples & Oranges

Nice roundup over at NRO of the Saddleback Church question and answer session with Rick Warren. Rich Lowry thinks the Empty Suit did okay, Mark Levin thinks he was awful, but there's a consensus there that John McCain blew him away. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it and I have only read excerpts, but it sounds as if McCain's answers came across as honest and forceful, while Obama's were contrived and forced. Gee, there's a shock. Here is Obama's awful answer to the question, "At what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?"

Wow. I'm not sure that "answer" could have been much worse. I don't blame Obama for being uncomfortable about his abortion record, especially in that setting, but gee whiz, that's about the worst answer I've ever heard, no matter WHO you're trying to pander to. And of course, he never did really answer the question. McCain's answer was immediate, "At the moment of conception." His pro-life position and his determination on the war are the two reasons I can vote for him...well, other than the simply horrific thought of a President Obama.
