I liked the ad, and I thought it was funny everybody copied after him....
I have many friends who are Jewish, and they don't know mind if someone tells them Merry Christmas, they just wish Happy Hannukah was addded occasionally...

Totally agree -- the Christian base is exactly why he is doing it. I'm sure he doesn't care that he alienated other religions. He probably figures he won't get their vote anyway.
I guess that I am just a little put off when any politician panders to a specific religion. I think it minimizes the
less religiously-charged issues like the environment and poverty to issues like abortion and gay marriage. I'd like to see some other issues discussed this year... I think whatever your position is on these issues, we could stand for taking some time off from issues that the government is never going to solve anyway.
