WALLACE: You would stay in a church that had a...
DODD: Well, I would — no. I would certainly disagree with this individual. We've all been in situations like that."
"WALLACE: Senator Schumer, are you troubled that Obama would belong to a church, be married by a minister, have his children baptized by a minister, who says these kinds of things?
SCHUMER: No. I agree with Chris here. Look, each campaign is wide-ranging. Supporters are all over the place."
"WALLACE: Well, let me just ask you, if I may, for just a moment. This isn't just a supporter. This is a man who was the head of his church for 20 years.
