that Obama has been occasionally using. When he brought Ted K to New York for a rally, right before super Tuesday, he used the phrase: "Bringing the Lion and the Lamb together."
I think that the Evangelicals know he's the real deal, a man of faith. He doesn't shove it in anyone's face, so it does not seem so obvious.
Not being an Evangelical myself, I'm not up on the "code," but I think that he speaks to them, and they know it.

He's not reading it off of cue cards that his speech writers have prepared.
It's not my cup of tea, but I think you're right, devout Christians pick up on that.

...and I think maybe part of the reason so many people try to push the "cult" meme is either to turn these people off (which I think will backfire), or because they are themselves against emotion and faith having a place in political discourse.

Yet today, we both voted for Hillary in the VA primary. Why? Because it seems McCain has it wrapped up, so why waste our vote on the Republican side; she is a lot less scary than Obama in many ways (better the Devil you know), and I think she is more easily beaten with her high negatives and lack of charisma. So we were part of the high Dem turn out today which I am sure you will hear about. And there is no way we will ever vote Dem in November.

Why I thing the margins will be close. No blowout tonight, IMO, except DC.

Do you really think there's a big demographic that comments on the National Review's blog? There really aren't that many Republican activists in the world.
