Evangelicals always are "hypocrites" because they are human like everybody else and are not angels. No, they are perceived as hypocrites [though of course not all are] because they are often holier than thou yet fail in their 'holiness.' But because they have money, are extremely well organized and can control large blocks of votes, the GOP has been forced to cater to them. I think it will be disastrous for the party in the long term. For that reason, I see a GOP renewal after the elections, a realization that it has to go to center a bit more if it wishes to be successful in the future. Of course, it also has to purge itself of the penchant for excessive spending, crony capitalism and corporate socialism for which W will be remembered. I think we are both partially correct about Mitt Romney, there was religious bias and he did not do a good job of connecting. A bit of a white-bread technocrat.

Just got back from voting. Had a choice of paper or touch screen here. I went with paper, because there was a line for touch screen and my father had a shady experience with the touch screen. I did vote for one Dem, who left the GOP. He was NRA endorsed and he calls you back himself if you call his office. Seemed like there were more people voting than all my previous times to the polls. I wish Palin was at the top of the ticket.
