The fact is most of the Evangelical Christians will vote their religious values above all else. And this could even become a driving issue to get less motivated Evangelicals to the polls. Baptist and Pentecostal churches through out the south have preached against this for decades. Not many Evangelicals will support a candidate that believes two different bibles.&lt;br&gt;If Romney is the candidate, Clinton has a chance of taking Texas and any other Dem. candidate would for sure. People won't talk about this much, but it should not come as a surprise.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (R): Shifting CW</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/19/277621.aspx#278206</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:01:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:278206</guid><dc:creator>Michael Palin</dc:creator><description>&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; lets face it people....we have slowly but surely becoming a theocracy. &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You'rw foolin' yourself!
