I think you are making a serious miscalculation here. Why do you think they call it the "Bible Belt"? Evangelicals are a HUGE influence in the South.
Check the signup date. Must be some Rudy operative dissing conservatives on a conservative website.
Sorry pal, while they are certainly large, suburban yankees who are fiscal conservatives who will vote for Rudy are the rising political force in states like GA, TX and NC...In states where the 2004 vote wasnt close, the notion that evangelicals staying home will hand the state to Hillary is nonsense....in states where the vote was closer like MO, it could.
