Yesterday, I detailed the unfortunate doings in North Carolina's Senate race between incumbent, Elizabeth Dole, and challenger, Kay Hagan. In that piece, I pointed out how, by using a phony voice-over to deceive voters into thinking Hagan did not believe in God, Dole was giving Hagan a golden opportunity to make a forceful rebuttal. Well, here it is:

This is such a strong counter-punch that it very well may win the election for Hagan. Dole screwed up big time, and now faces the prospect of retirement as well as a lawsuit for defamation. And what's the consequence for Christians who knowingly break the Ninth Commandment? Yikes. Note to future candidates, politics and religion may prove combustible when mixed.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
