400-408 – Frank Donatelli, deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee (gop.com), on how John McCain differs from both Hillary and Obama.
• CNN, Allies key to McCain's foreign policy vision. Contra the Bush Administration? Is he "weak on the economy?" What is a "realistic idealist?" Is Obama right, have we lost our "focus on the front line in Afghanistan?"
"Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we want whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said. "We need to listen to the views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies."
• AZ Central (3/3), McCain calls virtual border fence a disgrace. If it works, why is it a disgrace?

11% of Republicans will abstain or vote for another party if McCain doesn't pick a VP more conservative than he is.
• Joel C. Rosenberg, McCain's Evangelical Problem: How McCain can pull ahead of the Dems.
If the general election were held today, McCain would lose the Christian vote to the Democratic nominee — 36 percent to 45 percent — with 19 percent of Christian voters currently undecided.
Among Protestants, McCain pulls even with the Democrats at 40 percent. But the Democrats have a whopping 32-point lead over McCain among Catholics.
Among white evangelical Protestants, McCain is doing better (51 percent to 28 percent), but clearly they have not rallied behind him at this point.
By contrast, the 2004 exit polls found that George W. Bush beat John Kerry among Protestants (59 percent to 40 percent), Catholics (52 percent to 47 percent), and white evangelical Protestants (78 percent to 21 percent).
Christians: McCain 36% / Democrat 45% / Undecided 19%.
Protestants: McCain 40% / Democrat 40% / Undecided 19%.
Catholics: McCain 24% / Democrat 56% / Undecided 19%.
White Evangelicals: McCain 51% / Democrat 28% / Undecided 19%.

"(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."
Wright continued, "From the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus' death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style. ...
"He refused to be defined by others and Dr. Asa Hilliard also refused to be defined by others. The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God."
• OBAMA'S CHURCH ACCUSED ISRAEL OF WORKING ON "ETHNIC BOMB THAT KILLS BLACKS AND ARABS" (from 6/10/2007) – From the bulletin: "I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the White Supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check: they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb that kills Blacks and Arabs."
