This will be the first U.S. election in which 2 high ranking Vatican officials will be eligible to vote. I'm talking about The Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, William Cardinal Levada (former archbishop of San Francisco) and Archbishop Raymond Burke, the head of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature and head of the Vatican bar, (formerly Archbishop of St. Louis).

Hmm. I wonder who they'll vote for, or if they'll bother to vote at all.

by absentee ballot or are they gonna fly over? Wouldn't it be funny to see them at the polls in their clerical garb with their zucchetti and their pectoral crosses. Hey and after they vote, then they can preach to the people voting.

umm i'm not sure, I don't personally know them. And I'd say they can wear what they want when voting. Then since they're protected under the 1st amendment they can preach if they want to.

The 2008 election is historic because it's the first time since 1952 that the election doesn't feature a sitting President or Vice President.

wrong. Bush is running for a third term, and Carter is running for a second term.

Me too, I was just saying that was more historic than a couple of Vatican officials being able to vote.

Considering most "blacks" don't have any recent african ancestry... yes, Obama is black. Not 'half and half' :|

So the election is historic because about 0.000001% more people are elegible to vote? I can think of about five million better reasons . . .

No. His daddy is black as a Hershey's "Special Dark" candy bar and his mom is white as the Snow. Obama is half and half.

so now, we're arguing over whether Obama is black or half and half.
