Indeed. If you (1) are in search of something that shows you have values (2) will put you in agreement with the majority of the electorate and (3) doesn't in principle offend minorities, women, homosexuals or any other part of your 'core' constituency, what better philosophy to embrace than creationism? To say nothing of the long and glorious history of creationism among the Dems - after all, the most famous American creationist of all time was four time Dem. nominee for President!
I'd say they're a natural pairing, like bacon and eggs.

Well, keep in mind that Creationism is the perfect tool for the racist wing of the Dem party. Rather than stressing a Darwinian goal of striving to be the best, they can focus more on a "You were Created that way." Remember, the most rabid racists of the past century were Creationists.
A philosophy based on Darwinian evolution can lead to excellence, as the best prosper (i.e. Darwinism = capitalism and entepreneurship), while Creationism leads to full blown Fascism and Communism (i.e. you were Created the way you are, and efforts to change that are affronts to God).
