From last month's Atlantic Monthly: An article by Steven Waldman in the online magazine Slate provides some perspective on the divide: "As you may already know, one of America's two political parties is extremely religious. Sixty-one percent of this party's voters say they pray daily or more often. An astounding 92 percent of them believe in life after death. And there's a hard-core subgroup in this party of super-religious Christian zealots. Very conservative on gay marriage, half of the members of this subgroup believe Bush uses too little religious rhetoric, and 51 percent of them believe God gave Israel to the Jews and that its existence fulfills the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus." The group that Waldman is talking about is Democrats; the hard-core subgroup is African-American Democrats. lol. I like these misleading descriptions. And in the last election some of these hard core types crossed over to Bush. And of course, there is Condi Rice........she hails from that subgroup. However, I bet NO may have reversed that crossover for Bush. ted
