The Washington Post has an interesting article on the decline of the Christian Coalition, which is some $2 million in debt. Of particular interest is what the decline may mean for future elections because of what the Coalition will not be doing:
The Christian Coalition is still routinely included in meetings with White House officials and conservative leaders, and is still a household name. But financial problems and a long battle over its tax status have sapped its strength, allowing it to be eclipsed by other Christian groups, such as the Family Research Council and the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Although some of those groups have begun moving into the coalition’s specialty — grass-roots voter education and get-out-the-vote drives — none is poised to distribute 70 million voter guides through churches, as the Christian Coalition did in 2000.

My heart pumps peanut butter for them!
That’s the best news I’ve heard in a long time! Amen!!
Woo hoo! These guys are the very antethesis of Christian Values.
Remember, all of you who post, God will punish you as he did the people of N.O. and (as he will) the schoolboard of Dover, PA.
Howsabout this: Let’s deport them all, and trade them for hardworking Mexicans! Given a choice, who would you rather live next door to?
hard-working mexicans. giving them back texas seems like a win-win to me.
Hell, I’ll take drunken Irishmen over this lot. What am I saying? I would take drunken Irishmen over most anyone.
Brio–Think what you’re saying. You’ve libeled three parties with one statement.
My first thought on reading most of the previous comments was how strange it was for those who espouse tolerance to be so intolerant of people of faith.
Then I realized they were just posing.
RomeFell, I could explain that one cannot legally libel a group, or that I have hardly libelled the Irish, god rest my ancestors, by stating a preference for the company of those among them who indulge to the company of those who believe the occasional indulgence to be a sin, but when it comes down to it I’d really rather just encourage you to pour yourself a couple fingers of bourbon and lighten up, and leave it at that. Cheers.
Proof that there is a God, and she finally got them!
