The Washington Post & I Agree

In a previous posting, I said that karl Rove was a winner from the 2004 election b/c of his succcessful strategy to focus more resouces on getting votes from religious and evengelical convservatives (i.e., Bush's base). As a result, Bush propelled to victory even though he lost the indpendent/swing voters to Kerry. Here's an article from the Washington Post titled "Evangelicals Say They Led Charge For the GOP" that seems to flush out this argument. Although there was increased voter turnout across the board, the article asserts that turnout by religious conservatives soared. This was caused by, amongst other things, churches and congregations in "friendly" (i.e., red) communities urging their members to vote for Bush b/c he shared their "values." If only Karl Rove would use his genius for good, and not evil. Here's the link.
