A campaign that started at Liberty University, has been to hundreds of churches and related meetings and has a well-known evangelical preacher as a surrogate? Really?
Take the Huckabee and Santorum supporters at Charles Stanley’s First Baptist Church of Atlanta, or Andy Stanley’s Buckhead and Alpharetta Churches, or the Synagogue on the west side of Hwy 400, Atlanta. Those three have large congregatons and are extremely pro-Israel, an issue in which Cruz should be winning. But Cruz supporters in those churches are not much more numerous than in the general population. And the Huckabee and Santorum supporters in those churches have a higher percentage than among general R primary voters.
Why? I don’t know. I have’nt done a scientific poll. But that is sure the vibes I get anecdotally. I might be wrong.
Rafael Cruz is speaking Aug 19 in Buford GA. My daughter is the #1 organizer trying to get Christians (Evangelicals and Catholics) to the Rafael event. How many will she produce? I don’t know. How many will show up by hearing about it from other sources? I don’t know.
I’m the only one posting anything in GA on FR. And I’m relatively new to GA and don’t know the people or customs well. The only other person evangelizing GA is Conrad Quadrigli, a Walker supporter who believes in building the movement. So he effectively publicizes Cruz and other conservative events and appears to be the only person doing so.
