Hitchens the voter

From Radar: (emphasis mine)

That said, any ideas on who you'll be voting for in the 2008 presidential election?

I couldn't tell you now for whom, except if it was today, if you have everyone who is currently seeking a nomination running for president, I'd vote for Giuliani because of the war. Mrs. Clinton has a good position on the war, too. If she were running against an anti-war Republican, which could happen, if it was Hillary vs. Chuck Hagel, let's say—he's not running, but let's suppose he was—well, then I'd vote for her. Because she's serious about the war—or at least she has to pretend to be. I'm a single-issue voter ...

I would vote for a pro-war, religious person over an anti-war atheist.
