I have to ask, is it legal for a pastor to endorse a political candidate, in a church?

Many here were concerned about rw "preachers" pushing bush, because that was, as I recall, somehow illegal.

Anyone who has seen the particular youtube video of Wright praising Obama and slamming Hillary, for being white it seemed to me, would have to be blind to not see that as a campaign event for Obama.

Would we stand for a pastor praising in direct language g w bush, while slamming Kerry? Many here were upset about that. But if it was wrong, or even in violation of campaign laws, then, wouldn't that also be the case with Wright?
