Oh God

So, God told Herman Cain to run for President. But, he also told Rick Perry to run. And Michele Bachmann. And who knows who is next?

We're told the incredible shrinking evangelicals all understand this kind of talk. However, the nation's first Republican reduced this rhetorical flourish to its essentials:

"In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time."

Of course, God could just be doing this for the same reason many people are following the Republican campaign: for laughs*.
