“Do the democrats really think they’ll sway conservative Christians”
They hope to sway the Christian conservative women by focusing on traditional “nesting type” issues such as health-care and education. Christian women tend toward “inclusive and fair” positions and tend to vote sentimentally. If you look at the language that Hillary has been using(as well as all Democrats) in her speeches, the language zero’s in on just where many other-wise morally righteous women from about 18 to 40 are living at this time.
Many other-wise conservative women I have talked to suggest that its time for a woman president simply because they feel that women have a knack for consenses building and that this should be tried in negotiations with our foreign adversaries. The Dem’s have made an end run around traditional GOP conservative patriarchy and have tempted our women with the evil fruit of Liberalism...Sadly, many have taken a bite.(But just don’t tell their husbands they voted for Hillary...they might get “upset”!)
You are absolutely right. Many Christians will be “glad” to support HRC in 2008. The Republicans will lose because they have not delivered on the platform. Even Newt Gingrich says HRC is a 4-1 likely winner.
