[Discerning Reader: Recent Reviews] Red Letter Christians: They settled on the name “Red Letter Christians” as an alternative to evangelical. “In adopting the name, we are saying that we are committed to living out the things that Jesus taught.” According to Campolo, Red Letter Christians”¦ .
[The Seeker] WWED: What will evangelicals do?: People like Wallis and Tony Campolo address these issues and make known that there is another side of the teachings of Jesus that is wholly neglected that should be the quintessential heartbeat of the evangelical: to love and care for the poor, the downtrodden, and the pariahs of society. This translate to an agreement with the policies of the democratic party for a number of us younger generation evangelicals, the advocacy of certain checks on a free market economy, universal or almost-universal healthcare in order to cover the poor, and the repeal of tax breaks for those with higher income.
[rhythmism] Why Don’t Jews Like the Christians Who Like Them?: Christian Smith, a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina, analyzed four surveys of self-identified evangelicals and found that, while they do think that America was founded as a Christian nation and fear that the country has lost its moral bearings, these views are almost exactly the same as those held by non-evangelical Americans. Evangelicals, like other Americans, oppose having public schools teach Christian values, oppose having public school teachers lead students in vocal prayers, and oppose a constitutional amendment declaring the country a Christian nation.
[Humbly Reforming] Who in the World Should the Christian Vote for?: What would I say then about Huckabee? Well, first I would applaud his desire to allow his faith to permeate everything he does. He does not shy away from discussing his faith, and openly admits that his faith guides his decision-making, while at the same time reassuring voters that he’ll not force his faith on them. It should be noted, however, that just because one is a professing Christian, that does not guarantee much of anything. Jimmy Carter was a professing Christian. Bill Clinton, for goodness sake, professed to be a Christian. Now, I’m not comparing Huckabee to these two men; I just point to those examples because I think we must be cautious when we’re tempted to wholeheartedly endorse (or reject) a candidate based on his religious persuasion alone.
[The Washington Independent] COMMENTARY: What Evangelical Populism Lost: These days, most evangelicals care more about a moral politics of the body than the Social Gospel—perhaps one reason why Huckabee favors amendments to ban gay marriage and outlaw abortion. But such opinions make millions of Americans uneasy, and could actually help prevent him from being the

[BEAUTIFUL, ALSO, ARE THE SOULS OF MY BLACK SISTERS] OBAMA AND MCCAIN SWEEP 3 PRIMARIES: Obama’s strength in Virginia and Maryland crossed a range of demographic groups, according to exit polls conducted by Edison/Mitofsky for the National Election Pool. He received support from voters across all income and education levels, as well as across political ideologies, from those who described themselves as liberal, moderate and conservative Democrats.
[Kautzman's AP GO PO Blog] CE Week #3: “Obama and McCain Sweep 3 Primaries”: “We are going to sweep across Texas in the next three weeks bringing our message about what we need in America, the kind of president we need on Day One to be commander in chief and turn the economy around,” Mrs. Clinton said at a rally in El Paso on Tuesday night, making no reference to her losses back East.
[Bill's Weblog] Huckabee on the cover of “The American Conservative” magazine: Meanwhile, without a single reporter in tow, Huckabee wandered around New Hampshire and Iowa, speaking to perhaps a dozen people at a time, joking that other candidates “pay $150 for an exfoliation. I could just hand them a bar of Lava soap.” Beltway conservatives and consultants, enjoying Huck’s genial act, speculated that he might make a nice vice president and laughed at his harmless quips.
[Stories] Feb. 08 Campaign 2008 The Jesus Factor: Redeem the Vote founder Randy Brinson groused to the conservative Washington Times that the party establishment is “discounting the Huckabee platform and his populist message of taking back Washington from the corrupt Republican insiders that treat evangelicals as a commodity that can be traded or bartered.”
