the evangelical block is hardly solid, very fickle, and some portion of it is easily duped. toss out a scandal like Foley and blame it on the "republican leadership", run a few phony pro-life Dems, and some portion of that block will split. this block cannot, on their own, elect a president anyway - even with solid 100% litmus test issues support (which now apparently also must include demonizing Mary Cheney for being pregnant). hitching your wagon to a single horse that isn't strong enough to pull it, is not a formula for victory.

Good point, but I bet if she were up against someone like Santorum or Brownback, she wouldn't get a single evangelical vote. With Santorum in particular, the press would be too busy talking about how much he hates fags to bother with anything else.

The evangelicals need to be tossed overboard. I'll get on board with real fiscal conservatives like Rudy.

These social issues need to go to the states for voters to decide.....and the last thing the evangelicals (and the NARAL crowd too) want is for the voters to decide.
