Wooing the evangelicals

An interesting historical analysis, but no conclusions were drawn. My own take would be that the Dems need to convince voters that while religion should be valued, injecting it into the political process inevitably leads to somebody's god or commandments getting ignored or even actively opposed by the State apparatus - and sooner or later, if they insist on making God a Republican, He's the one that'll be marginalized.

Democrats are said to have a religion problem. What that really means is that they have a problem connecting with the beliefs and moral values of white evangelical Christians. So what are Democrats to do?

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
