I heard one person on Fox last night say that one poll (didn’t hear which one) that had O & M neck and neck was composed of 40% evangelical voters and that only 30% of the voters who put Pres. Bush in office had been evangelicals. I wondered how that happened? The pundit also said that O is still in a pretty good position. Very confusing.

They need inform Christians about Black Liberation Theology beliefs and McCain will win by a mile.



It is the biggest con job for Obama to claim he is a Christian. McCain said he wont discuss Wright. This not Wright, it is James Cone, the inventor of Obama's religion.

That's the one thing I find very suspect about this AP poll. It has 44% of likely voters self-identifying as "Evangelical/Born-Again Christian". In 2004, only 23% of voters called themselves "Evangelical/Born-Again Christian". I have a hard time believing that demographic has nearly DOUBLED in just 4 years. I think APs internals are off.

My take. Evangelicals will come out strong if there are real pertinent issues. In 2000, Evangelicals came out strong for Bush as a repudiation of Clinton's immoral and ethical conduct. In 2004, not so much because there wasn't a pressing moral issue. In 2006, not so much either because they were turned off by Foley.

Sarah Palin has energized the Evangelical Base beyond belief.
