Blaming the Evangelicals for this loss is a HUGE load of crap. I live in the Bible Belt Buckle and land of large mega Evangelical church’s. I do NOT know of a single person that stayed home rather than vote for Romney. I think that Coach Kevin is just looking for a scapegoat. Well, I won’t let him.

Dittoes. But as an Evangelical myself, I must admit to being flattered with the blame this article is dumping on us.
But the simple truth of the matter is this: Ignore Evangelicals at you own risk. What put Bush on top over Gore, then Kerry? It’s wasn’t Soccer Moms or NASCAR Dads or any other demographic group. It was Evangelicals.
And because the GOP kicked us to the curb in ‘08 and ‘12, they lost. Blame Evangelicals? Hah! Blame the party responsible for ignoring the real key issues that face our nation.
Sure, Evangelicals are concerned about the deficit, the economy and unemployment. But unless and untill we have a man who is not afraid to speak out on critical social issues as well as economic issues, we are just spitting in the wind.
Won’t work you say? Why not? Obama and the democrats are PROUD to run on free contraception issues, pro-abortion issues, gay marriages and on and on and on.
