[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 385196, member: 2189"] The homerun was for Pastor Warren and the Saddleback church. Since all the hoopla of the book, The Purpose Driven Life, has died down, Warren and Saddleback have not been an item in the public eye. This debate pulled Warren and the church back into the center ring of the 3 ring circus that is American electoral politics and thus amped up the PR machine for Warren Inc. Warren Inc. was able to one up the networks, the political parties and the various political operatives by bringing us what amounts to a type of "soft and gentler" debate even before the conventions themselves. Who sez Jesus doesn't sell in decadent and sinful America! Warren also managed to get religion back in a kind of center position in American politics as for the last nearly 30 years it was made to appear (via a type Cris Angel illusionism) an exclusive domain of the republican party. I have little use for Warren, Saddleback or organized religion for that matter but Warren and Saddleback IMHO came out the real winners in this deal. Hats off to a brillant move on their part.
