faith forum live blogging

The first section with Obama is over. I'm not as much impressed with Obama's answers. Once you hear him speak a lot, you pretty much anticipate his answers. What I AM impressed with are Warren's questions. They are insightful and nuanced. I only wish that the candidates dared to answer them honestly.

Warren understands that so-called flip flopping isn't necessarily bad. Sometimes it's necessary because you change your position based on new information. It means you are able to grow and adapt.

Warren is interested at getting at personal failure, weakness, integrity, leadership, how one makes difficult decisions with love and integrity. This is where faith and politics often clash. Because in the world of politics, it is often considered disastrous to show weakness, to fail, to change and grow.
