The Christian Left group Sojourners made an important political step by sponsoring a forum, inviting the top six presidential candidates of both parties, and openly discussing religious objectives. This was an intelligent move in the sense that now the Democratic candidates have openly discussed their faith, and for the American people that are more in the middle to see the candidates' willingness to discuss it is an important political move on their part. Also, it will be interesting to see what happens becuase of the Right not having one candidate to support- some Christians of the Right may end up voting for one of Left, and people who are not staunchly one way or the other but more in the middle may end up being swayed by the talk of the Left now and vote Democratically. One thing that was mentioned was that they still do not have the political power that the Right has, but I do not think that in this election it will make a difference simply becuase the Right hasn't sided with one candidate- in order to have true power they would have to galvanize behind a Republican candidate.
