And anyone who thinks we will rid ourselves of the horror of Dumbya & his right wing evangelical zealotry by electing Obama, think again.

Obama has been wooing conservative evangelical voters with a zeal not seen by anyone outside the Republican party.

From the NYT:

"Young conservative evangelicals seem more open to Obama's 'Christian' message of caring for the poor, fighting genocide, health care for all and climate change," David Brody, senior national correspondent of the Christian Broadcasting Network, noted on Tuesday on the Web site after the radio program. "They also like the fact that he is reaching out to try and find common ground with conservative faith voters."

From Politico:

"The conservative Evangelical biographer of George W. Bush and Tom DeLay has moved on to a new subject: Barack Obama. And his new book, due out this summer, may lend credibility to Senator Obama's bid to win Evangelical Christian voters away from the Republican Party.

The forthcoming volume from Stephen Mansfield, whose sympathetic "The Faith of George W. Bush" spent 15 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004, is titled "The Faith of Barack Obama." Its tone ranges from gently critical to gushing, and the author defends Obama-and even his controversial former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright-from conservative critics, and portrays him as a compelling figure for Christian voters.

"Young Evangelicals are saying, 'Look, I'm pro-life but I'm looking at a guy who's first of all black-and they love that; two, who's a Christian; and three who believes faith should bear on public policy," Mansfield, who described himself as a conservative Republican, said in a telephone interview. "They disagree with him on abortion, but they agree with him on poverty, on the war."
