>>>" . . .Religious conservatives helped Ronald Reagan win the presidency in the 1980s and helped Republicans retake the House and Senate in 1994, but complain that they have little to show for their loyalty to the GOP."

There's data that shows evangelical Christians make up 20%-25% of the voting public, with the GOP getting about eight in ten of those votes. That makes the Religious Right, aka.Christian Conservatives, a powerful part of the GOP`s base. I don't know if 6-million evangelical Christians stayed home in 2000, but if 6-million conservative Christians stay home this time around, Bush will probably lose.

RE: I don't know if 6-million evangelical Christians stayed home in 2000

Me neither but that's what the article and others said. It's a little more complicated because there are black evangelical Christians, Hispanic evangelical Christians, white evangelical Christians. . . .

Rats usually get the first two by wide margins.
