Obama vs. McCain - How Will They Lead?

UPDATE 08/17/08: For a recap of the Political Forum read this report from Fox News or watch a video from CNN.

For many voters, faith plays an important role in deciding who to vote for in the presidential elections. If learning about the candidates' values and spirituality is just as important to you as knowing their stand on political issues, you'll want to watch a special 2-hour joint campaign appearance to air this Saturday, Aug. 16 at 8 pm on Fox News Channel. You can also watch the forum live online from 5-7 pm Saturday.

Rick Warren, who will moderate this 'Civil Forum on the Presidency' at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, stated, "This is a critical time for our nation and the American people deserve to hear both candidates speak from the heart – without interruption – in a civil and thoughtful format absent the partisan 'gotcha' questions that typically produce heat instead of light."

The non-debate format of the event will give each candidate the uninterrupted chance to focus on how they will lead the country, not in areas of policy, but rather, based on their convictions of character, values and faith. Warren will be the only one asking the questions, and each candidate will have their own time and space on stage.

I dare say, for undecided Christian voters, this event could potentially be one of the most important opportunities of the campaign.
