Paging Katherine Harris

"I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles ... personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith,"

But that doesn't mean Muslims can't be President, McCain later said, retracting his earlier bigoted statement

It is important, says McCain, that belief in Christian principles is present, otherwise you're missing a key factor in your ability to lead.

After all, we live in the country where anybody can grow up to be President...

so long as you accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour...or put on a good act that you do.
