It would also not surprise me if the group that puts Obama over-the-top when he goes up against McCain (yes, it is going to be Obama) will be disaffected former Republican Evangelicals desperate to affirm something positive after spending so much of their lives wallowing in hate and negativity. They won't vote for Clinton because she is too much like the negative world they are trying to escape. They want hope and real change.
The media have -- of course -- missed this story just as they missed the rise of the religious right in the 1970s something I describe in detail in Crazy For God. People "like that" just don't show up on the media radar screen as "important." And the media are lazy and only talking to the has-been leaders.
When I wrote my memoir I fell lonely. I'm stunned to find that have plenty of good company and that Crazy For God is simply a first drop in what is about to become a tidal wave sweeping away the divisive politics of the last 30 years. This tidal wave is also about to help Obama realize his dream of bringing us all together in a better America. If you don't believe me, just wait.
