...Reports of a Christian conservative takeover of the GOP have been exaggerated. While the evangelical right is a key part of the Republican coalition, it's not decisive - certainly not in a swing state. Sixty percent of Missouri voters in the Republican exit poll said they attend church least once a week. Even more - 76% - said abortion should be illegal. Yet the winner was not the first choice of evangelical Protestants opposed to abortion. Conservative Christians buoyed Mike Huckabee to a strong second-place, but Huck's inability to reach beyond that base left him an also...

Minister and gastroenterologist Dr. Randy Brinson founded the group during the 2004 election and hired the same media firm that marketed Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ to broaden RTV's reach. In 2004, the group organized Christian rock concerts in swing states and singlehandedly registered some 78,000 voters. For this year's Iowa caucuses, the group employed another technique to attract young evangelicals - free samples of southern cuisine like collard greens and banana pudding. Using the same kind of tongue-in-cheek humor as that of favored...
