Twenty pairs of eyes eagerly converge on Jennifer Larcey as the afternoon science lesson gets under way at Bassett Elementary in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. Sure, the transfixed first-graders are salivating at the prospect of examining--and tasting--the physical properties of peanuts, raisins and M&Ms. But something else is riveting the kids, even as Larcey stands to the side of the room issuing directions: the breathtaking clarity of her voice.

But Applebee's America, a new book aimed at helping political, business and religious leaders market themselves, disagrees. The authors--ex-Bill Clinton aide Douglas Sosnik, Bush strategist Matthew Dowd and journalist Ron Fournier--analyzed 2004 exit polls and found that Protestant suburbanites who attend church at least weekly are 49% Democrat or independent and 39% believe in gay rights.
