Bet Tony Campolo is seething with jealousy! (g)
I mean, it's not like the elites or the intellectuals in the GOP really wanted evangelicals around in the first place. The Jewish/Catholic (no Baptists allowed) National Review today has a sorrowful piece on how sophisticated "creative class" VA-Webb suburbanites just get the icky shudders with the social-issue religious voter. The NR, along with almost all the "conservative" punditry, have longed to cut the observant Protestants loose from the GOP. Now, with the new anti-conservative Bush in place, they'll have their way.
That same article in the National Review Online rather ignored that Webb got 50K votes from the Muslim Corridor in N Va. Too scary to notice, I guess. About 90% of the Muslims in Va voted for Webb. But the suburbanites and Catholic schoolgirl editors at NRO do fret so! over Assemblies of God having any say in politics. Bah. Pointless, effete girlies and girley boys at the NRO...determined to make us lose as long as we lose politely.
