In dozens of interviews since the election, grass-roots activists in Ohio, Michigan and Florida credited President Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, with setting a clear goal that became a mantra among conservatives: To win, Bush had to draw 4 million more evangelicals to the polls than he did in 2000. But they also described a mobilization of evangelical Protestants and conservative Roman Catholics that took off under its own power.
I recall reading over a year ago that Newt Gingrich began sucking up to the Religious Right and Glenn Beck's blasphemous DC rally is another indication that the conservatives will be trying to energize the Fundies. The latest bit of evidence comes from Mr. Moral Michael Medved:
Right-wing radio host Michael Medved insisted this week that if the Christian God were a registered voter in the United States, "[He] would cast his all-important ballot for Republicans." And if Medved thinks so, it must be true, right?
