John McCain: Can He Be a Falwell Republican?

If he manages to sway the crusading crack-pots, he will lose moderates and others who have had a gut full of the Foulwellians and the followers of the Mullah Robertson.

They have showed their true colors over the past 6 years in a way that cannot be ignored by the non-religiously insane.

If he doesn't, he will lose the the lockstep, christo-fascist activists aid, and cannot win.

John McCain: Can He Be a Falwell Republican?:

"Last October, J. David Woodard, a Clemson University political scientist who doubles as a strategist for conservative Republican candidates, polled 450 South Carolina GOP voters, asking: 'When it comes to politics, do you consider yourself closer to George W. Bush or John McCain?' Sixty-three percent picked Bush. Twenty-one percent said it made no difference. And just 16 percent chose McCain.

The message? 'I think McCain has a lot of work to do if he's going to win here,' Woodard told me recently. 'There is a long-term memory, especially with Christian conservatives, about his comments after the 2000 race.'"
