IF THIS ISN'T BLURRING THE LINE...

This is a minor tidbit, but I thought some of you may be interested; thanks to Scott at the new District Blogs FL-01 site.

The U.S. Senate race has five active candidates besides incumbant Democrat Bill Nelson and GOP contender Katherine Harris. One of them is a fellow by the name of Tom Wells, representing the Family Values Party. He had been campaigning for the First District congressional seat currently held by ultra-conservative Jeff Miller (R - Pensacola). Although Wells had earned only a handful of votes as a write-in candidate in three previous congressional races, Scott seemed to think that Wells had a chance to draw as much as 20 percent of the vote running from Miller's right (it's a surprise anyone could do such a thing, but...).

But what caught my eye is that when I visited the Florida Department of Elections Web site and checked out Mr. Wells' information, his address is a church called "Raised Messiah's House of Prayer", located in Cantonment. If the church is listed as a non-profit organization, it could now easily lose it's designation under IRS regulation. BTW: His Web site was originally set up for his 2004 congressional race; it doesn't look like he has updated it recently.

Of course, noone truly believes that Tom Wells has a snowball's chance in Hades of winning the U.S. Senate race. I simply bring this to your attention because such blurred lines between religion and politics is becoming more open...
