This will be a big issue in the 2008 presidential primaries. The MSM will be primed to ask the candidates their views about creationism (or ID, which is the same, but even more dishonest).
That's my prediction. And the creationists -- in their infinite foolishness -- are giving the dems the rope with which to hang us all.
I'm afraid you're right.
We need some prominent Republicans to go public as pro-evolutionists but I don't see any likely candidates.
