Kerry selects Edwards as running mate

Here's an interesting choice of words:

The two men will be formally anointed later this month at the Democratic convention in Boston

Last I checked anointed means:

1. To apply oil, ointment, or a similar substance to.
2. To put oil on during a religious ceremony as a sign of sanctification or consecration.
3. To choose by or as if by divine intervention.

Perhaps republicans aren't the only ones who believe God chooses certain people for certain tasks at certain times.
