I should clarify, those surrogates I referred to are the upper level people in the Evangelical movement. You have to understand, IMO most of them aren’t very Christian and are cutthroat hypocrites. You can’t believe the nastiness and fakery that exists in those circles.
They will have no problem dealing with Ed if they feel Bachmann serves their purpose. He’ll use them as the faces to marshal the votes, because you are right, Ed would never play to the grassroots. Ed will just pull strings.
