The article is only a little biased. He set the tone with his first sentence; Republican strategists, examining new census data and recent election returns, are warning that the electorate is moving steadily to the left and that the party needs to adopt new rhetoric and tactics to attract the growing number of working women, Hispanics, secular voters and socially tolerant, well-educated professionals.

I was surprised to learn that Alex Castellanos is one of those strategists. He produced the DemocRAT TV ad, if memory serves. Was not surprised to learn that Rich Bond is one of them. He was involved in Bush Sr's and Dole's failed presidential campaigns.

Towards the end of the article he does include some dissenting voices, but he's clearly trying to hammer home what Castellanos and Bond are saying.

From your earlier post:
Although the percentage saying they regularly attend church has remained constant over the past 30 years at approximately 37 percent, the percentage saying they never go to church rose sharply from 14 percent to 33 percent from 1972 to 1998

I don't think this is too startling and I don't think it indicates a leftward shift.

So many churches have become liberal or have turned into social clubs, that many people of faith just stay away.
