Why vote for Obama?

He doesn't belong to the GOP.
He doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve.

It should be said that the GOP is scared to death of Obama.

Why?

The GOP understands that Obama is the first Democrat in decades, that reeks of being a true Christian, and not just one that babbles about it like Republicans do. That although Obama couldn't get the hard right evangelicals, he should retain the nice slice of evangelicals that left the GOP in 2006 because of all the scandals.

That the YOUNGER evangelicals, especially, are not as rigid as their parents or grandparents, and that someone like Obama could appeal to them. The plan was - what would happen to the GOP if Obama was able to KEEP the evangelicals that left them in 2006, and just slice off a little bit more?

Game.Set.Match for the Democrats up and down the line.

The GOP will be feeding off the bottom for decades to come.
