Religion and the White House

The teaser from the article says it all ...

President Bush's advisers bridle at the suggestion that the White House owes a big political debt to evangelicals, even though they were a key part of his winning coalition in November. "The election was bigger than any one segment," argues a senior White House official. But, while the president doesn't want to seem beholden to any special interest, this doesn't mean he is out of step with conservative Christians. Quite the contrary. "What people are overlooking is that his values are the same as the evangelicals'," another Bush adviser explains. "He considers himself one of them. He doesn't need anyone to push him in their direction. He's already there."

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
