Has the Smear Stuck?

rvineis

60 Minutes has an interesting clip of an Obama supporter who is unsure about voting for the Senator due to the persistent rumors about his faith. The supporter from Chillicothe, Ohio heard that Obama doesn’t know the national anthem and was not sworn into the Senate using the Bible. And as the Columbus Dispatch points out that as goes Chillicothe, so goes the nation. To what extent will this influence voting today? Stay tuned for coverage of Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont as it happens.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
