What is the Democratic Party doing to appeal to those who would have voted for Rick Perry, a supporter of the sanctity of life (except, alas, for those judicially guilty even if not necessarily morally guilty), of traditional marriage, and unabashedly of the public, civic Christianity that the First Amendment was framed to protect in the states against the Deists at the centre? They have little reason to act on Perry's endorsement of Newt Gingrich, and none whatever to vote for the eventual nominee, Mitt Romney.
It is also worth noting the total lack of influence being displayed by the ageing or aged great and good of Evangelicalism in relation to the South Carolina primary. Even in the Deep South, the white Evangelical vote is obviously up for grabs. In his first term, Obama has missed a trick by not giving them the Supreme Court appointment that the Republicans never have and never will.
And speaking of South Carolina, whatever happened to Bob Conley?
