...leaders to argue education, poverty and the environment are all evangelical issues.

While I will concede that these are three important issues they do not have the weight of abortion - the killing of an innocent human being. As a Christian the war on terror (will there be freedom of religion in the US {and hopefully in other parts of the world} in 40 years) and abortion are the two most important issues of the election for me. So far, the Democrats don't have a place for me at their table on either of these issues.

Nor is the Socialist position on these, the Christian position.
