Methinks you struck a nerve. Ever since the Diebold debacle, Bushco needed to 'blame' his win on something. He chose to allow the religious zealots to believe that it was their vote.
We all know the reality, though. So, those who pander to the religious zealots, will fall by the wayside. Some, because their lifestyle doesn't match the pandering, and some due to the fact that there just aren't enough nutjobs to match those who prefer a reality based govt.
