Evangelicals Blame Foley, Not Republican Party

From the NY Slimes Times:

As word of Representative Mark Foley’s sexually explicit e-mail messages to former pages spread last week, Republican strategists worried – and Democrats hoped – that the sordid nature of the scandal would discourage conservative Christians from going to the polls.

But in dozens of interviews here in southeastern Virginia, a conservative Christian stronghold that is a battleground in races for the House and Senate, many said the episode only reinforced their reasons to vote for their two Republican incumbents in neck-and-neck re-election fights, Representative Thelma Drake and Senator George Allen.

The Chief certainly hopes that Nancy Pelosi et al have been counting their votes before the election – like counting chickens before they hatch.
