NPR: The Christian Right and the '08 Election
"With Pat Robertson coming out in support of Rudy Giuliani yesterday, the show looks at candidates' efforts to woo Christian conservatives. Has the Christian right's clout in national politics diminished?"
Guests:
Charles Boswell, senior pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Wichita, Kansas.
David D. Kirkpatrick, Washington correspondent for the New York Times
Matthew Continetti, associate editor of the Weekly Standard
Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and author of “The Divided States of America?”
Particularly interesting is Richard Land's defense of the Southern Strategy as non-racist religious right support for Ronald Reagan contra Paul Krugman's recent argument.
