I'm not sure that "uneasy with evangelicals" is exactly the term that would apply to how I am about it - I'm generally OK with evangelicals up until government starts getting mixed in. Of course, to be fair, I've known Orthodox that you don't want to get mixed up in with government, either, and who would be ethnic versions of Roy Moore, just doing it a little differently.
It may just be that I'm simply leery of the overly dogmatic.
As for polls, hopefully the GOP won't take much of a hit from this, and if Riley can get off his pro-tax bandwagon, everything will be OK.
