    He's a southern baptist. That's what he said sunday on meet the press.

    MR. RUSSERT: Gay marriage. You said this: “ It is a hard issue ... because I’m 53 years old. I grew up in a small town in the rural south. I was raised in the Southern Baptist church and so I have a belief system that arises from that. It’s part of who I am. I can’t make it disappear. ... I personally feel great conflict about that. I don’t know the answer. I wish I did. I think from my perspective it’s very easy for me to say, gay civil unions, yes, partnership benefits, yes, but it is something that I struggle with. Do I believe they should have the right to marry? I’m just not there yet.” Why not?

    SEN. EDWARDS: I think it’s from my own personal culture and faith belief. And I think, if you had gone on in that same quote, that I, I have—I, I struggle myself with imposing my faiths—my faith belief. I grew up in the Southern Baptist church, I was baptized in the Southern Baptist church, my dad was a deacon. In fact, I was there just a couple weeks ago to see my father get an award. It’s, it’s just part of who I am. And the question is whether I, as president of the United States, should impose on the United States of America my views on gay marriage because I know where it comes from. I’m aware of why I believe what I believe. And I think there is consensus around this idea of no discrimination, partnership benefits, civil unions. I think that, that certainly a president who’s willing to lead could lead the country in the right direction on that.

    Hillary easily has a raffle to win. If she gets the nod from the large familiar states, Ohio, Texas, and so on., she would be in a position to get extra delegates than Obama. the worry is, i think of Obama has grow to be the chosen between the Democratic social gathering and, if this situation is going to the finished Delegates, Hillary won't win. the two way, i think we could have a Democratic president for the subsequent 8 years.

    Who cares? It does not impact the way he could do his job. Look at George Bush. He has worn his religion on his sleeve and look at what a bang up job he has done for this country and our reputation worldwide.

    That information is really nobodys business. Religion is a very personal thing and is not open to public debate.

    check out his website, and maybe it has the information, or you could email him at the site.

    But does it really matter?

    He's a lawyer (ambulance chaser) turned politician. My guess would be Satan.
