In campaign news, Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain has suggested he only wants to see Christians elected to be president. He said, “I admire the Islam. There’s a lot of good principles in it. But 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.” McCain’s comment came during an interview with the website BeliefNet in which he also claimed the Constitution established the United States as a Christian nation.
