Don't most Christians believe in free-will? Would there be any need for "faith" if we did not have "free-will"? If there was no free-will, God would just force us to worship him, right? So isn't praying for an election win, praying that God force people into choosing a different candidate? For these people, wouldn't an Obama victory be an endorsement by God?

I think you're on to something. This is about Palin praying to wake up and be the new VP elect, right? I saw that too, and her every next comment does not cease to astound me.

I don't believe in fairy tales. I vote for who I think is the best man to win. And this time....it's OBAMA

No.
Quite to the contrary, as a matter of fact.
Christians are commanded to pray for our leaders.

You are to pray for God's will to be done - we are instructed to pray - that doesn't mean he will answer in the way you want him to. It is an act of obedience and if Obama wins there is a reason and not necessarily that God wants him to.

Answer by Jessica L
I don't think you understand the concept of prayer. In any case, you could always pray that the best candidate for our country wins the election.

You're asking people with very poor reasoning skills to make reasonable requests. They will not understand your question.
