Sometimes they do have an invocation. Usually the prayer is the kind of non-denominational prayer that you might have in a mixed-group setting --- so you can't really say that the prayer is Chirstian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. And usually they stick to themes of blessing the country, or praying that God will guide the candidates.

To me it is grossly offensive that McCain would have a pastor deliver a prayer that is clearly denominational and actually DISPARAGES other religions! And then it is even more offensive that he prays for McCain's success rather than a blessing on the country as a whole. And of course the most offensive part is how he challenges God to step up and support McCain so God won't appear weak in comaprison to other Gods! What an ASS!
