There are many forces at work to cut the evangelicals loose from the GOP--not the least of which are "intellectual" snobs at National Review whose sheltered little world begins and stops with Central Park and all those cool Manhattan restaurants.

Then there's the Jack Warren (Purpose Driven Life) phenomena. The religious who get cold-shouldered by the Republicans who are embarrassed to be seen with them will have somewhere to go.
