christians only? did anyone ask governor perry, if you're calling for a national day of prayer, why not include other religions? >> reporter: well, you know, that is the big question down here in texas about this event. why is this really a christian-only event. i asked the organizers about this, and they said, well, the event's open to anybody, any faith that wants to come. but i can tell you having watched the first hour or so of this gathering, this is a decidedly christian event. the prayers that are being said on stage are to jesus and there is certainly a christian-only message coming from the stage. having said all of that, rick perry is very unapologetic about it, despite the fact that there are protesters outside this stadium at this very moment, you know, not as large a crowd as what's inside here, but they're also gathering to have their voice heard. they're saying that this isn't -- this isn't really what the governor of texas should be doing, that in the words of one protesters outside, nobody elected him pastor. >> and just very quickly, jim, this is -- how political is this, really, is
