Since the Republican Convention, John McCain looks like a man descending into total madness. His whole presidential campaign is high drama and deception. He may use the slogan "Country First," but it's clear that it's McCain first.

The pressing question is did John McCain maintain himself under the "Cone of Silence" prior to attending the forum at Rick Warren's mega-church. But the real issue is whether or not candidates should be mixing politics and religion. Anyone remember the Spanish Inquisition?
