SUMMARY: Discussing religious questions asked at the November 28 CNN/YouTube Republican
presidential debate, Chris Matthews said: "[T]hese questions are getting very
liturgical. How literal do you take the [Bible]? Where did Jesus stand on
capital punishment? ... Why are candidates for the presidency being asked
religious questions?" But Matthews voiced no objections over the September 26
Democratic debate, which was moderated by
Matthews' NBC colleague Tim Russert, who asked of the
candidates, "[W]hat is your favorite Bible verse?"
