When Barack Obama picked Joe Biden a parade of pundits sat before cameras and microphones to talk about the Catholic vote. When John McCain picked Sarah Palin talk shifted to the evangelical Christian vote. You don’t hear much about the mainline Protestant vote. That might change.

It used to be that all you needed for a respectable art education was a museum in driving distance and a library card.
