Alan Wolfe is yet another lib defining what “evangelicals” believe and think and then explaining why Palin doesn’t fit “our” mold.
He is so wrong. He couldn’t be wronger!

I have 5 very liberal... did I say very liberal women who go to church with me. They sent out an email this morning saying to make sure we all vote. I sent back a reply.. I will vote and I am very anxious to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. Funny thing I have not had any replies back to me. I was the only Republican on the email and all others HUGE libs.

These are people who disagree with Barack Obama's position on abortion but respect him as a Christian. So they're not upset that Barack supports murder, but they will be upset that big bad Sarah said baaaad things about him?

“...the powerful sense emerging among evangelicals that all Christians, and not just Catholics, should do their best to insure social justice in this world.”
“Social justice” is just another term for socialism/communism. I’ll take that old time religion myself- the Lord helps those who help themselves.

Alan Wolfe is either an idiot or being deliberately mendacious.
And I find it hard to believe that anyone who is completely irreligious can "get" religion -- but, o.k., I'll judge him on his conclusions as he requests.
It's clear from his conclusions that he doesn't "get" religion at all.

Here, let me save everyone some time--evangelicals will be unpersuaded by Gov. Palin because of:
1. the environment,
2. abortion, and
3. social justice.

Catholics are going to be the toughest contingency for Obama to win over. Definitely not going to happen now.
