Does the Hagee endorsement of John McCain help or hurt his campaign?
Hagee endorsement of McCain has risks
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080303/ap_on_el_pr/mc...
I have Christian friends, both Protestant and Catholic, who find this to be the final nail in the McCain campaign casket.
By openly embracing this endorsement and then only slightly disagreeing with Hagee's beliefs, has McCain isolated himself to only the extreme fundamentalists? On the other hand, has he now guaranteed their votes?
Thanks in advance for keeping any answers civil and to topic.

13 AnswersElections1 decade agoQuestion for Republicans: Are you planning to enlist in the Military?
If you are already enlisted then I thank you for your service. This question is directed at Republicans who have NOT enlisted in a branch of the service. My father and both brothers are military men so I have a vested interest.
10 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoRepublicans and Democrats - How much real research have you done on your candidate?
Aside from what you read in the newspaper, see on your favorite "news" outlet, etc... Have you conducted any genuine, factual research from the numerous unbiased sources available on your choice candidate or do you depend on the MSM and other gossip mills?
11 AnswersElections1 decade agoAny guesses on how long it will take America to recover?
Keep in mind we probably haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg to how much damage the Republican rule has done since 2000 and with still almost a year to go.
How long before we see the economy, our international relations, and our credibility domestic as well as abroad, make any real significant change for the better?
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoYoung Republicans, when does your first tour in Iraq begin?
Without doubt you have all enlisted and there are just so many of you on Yahoo Answers, that it will be a virtual ghost town when you are all gone.
It is going to be very lonely. So when do you leave?
