Concede no voter. if Democrats do NOT somehow cut into the GOP's lead among [white] people who attend church regularly, we are doomed.
However, while Dean says during his campaign he was interested in religious outreach, his religious outreach advisor in a public editorial in Sojourners magazine disclosed how difficult it was for senior staff to commit resources and understand the religious communities. Many were downright hostile.

Working in Democratic politics, it is apparent to me how few evangelicals there are. Christianity Today talked about how Jim Wallis gave advice to Dem press secretaries on how to frame things to evangelicals. it made me wince in a way. i know the GOP sure doesn't need such advice. So i welcome Dean's efforts and hope others do too.
