11/4    Should Democrats Get Religion? CBS special:
        http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/04/politics/main653667.shtml
        \_ CBS is great. While all the other news corps are starting
           to align to Fox News because that's where the money is
           (majority has spoken), CBS seems to be tilting more to the
           left. It is great.
        \_ To take this seriously, I think no.  At least, I think the
           Democrats should stop treating religion so contemptously, but I
           don't think they need to become bible thumpers.  Bush came
           accross well because he actually believes his religion and acts
           accordingly.  Kerry looks silly on religion because he makes a
           big deal about his relgion, but obviously doesn't belive it
           personally.  Regan, Clinton, and Bush Sr. were all fairly
           non-religious, but they didn't try to pretend to be religious
           either.
           \_ Hmm. You and I have different memories of Ronald Reagan.
                -- ulysses
              \_ I admit, Regan is probably the biggest stretch in that
                 group.  He certainly ditched pleantly of church though.
                 \_ Reagan used religious rhetoric, but I am fairly certain
                    he was not a religious man. -- ilyas
           \_ Al Gore was a fairly religious man. Not only was Tipper
              absurdly conservative, but I know for a fact that Al
              attended church often, because my gf went to the same
              church. It didn't really help him win.
              \_ I'm pretty sure it hurt him.   I would have voted
                 for Gore had it not been for the tipper/lieberman
                 religious asshole axis.

The GOP recaptured the White House and strengthened its hold on Congress with powerful support from churchgoers. Now some in the party are saying that the Democrats need to reach out to these voters with a faith-based appeal. "I don't hesitate to stand up in a crowd and express how important faith is in my life. It is important to be able to express that in a way that is believable, and Democrats have to get comfortable doing that," Sen. Other Democratic politicians and officials echoed her view. Congressman Dick Gephardt, D-Mo, a former presidential candidate, told t he New York Times that Democrats had failed "to speak to our faith, and to relate to people that we share their faith." President Bush's faith-based appeal resonated in the South and rural and small town communities across the nation. And his opposition to gay marr iage positioned him to take advantage of widespread voter opposition to same-sex unions. According to CBS News exit polls, only 26 percent of all voters supported the idea of legalized gay and lesbian marriages, while 36 percent oppos ed any legal recognition of gay and lesbian relationships. Among this la tter group, Mr Bush held a greater than 2-to-1 advantage over Democrat John Kerry. No section of the nation received Mr Bush's values-laden message more en thusiastically than the Old Confederacy. The election virtually complete d the ongoing transformation of the South from a Democratic bastion to a GOP stronghold. Five Southern Senate seats previously held by Democrats fell to the Republicans. The Republican South has created some formidable election math for the De mocrats. With the South in the pocket of the 2008 Republican presidentia l candidate, the 2008 Democratic nominee will need about 70 percent of e lectoral votes available in the rest of the country to win the White Hou se. Some observers believe GOP triumphs in the South have created the conditi ons under which the Republicans can remain as the nation's majority part y for many years. So the Democratic Party now turns to an internal debate about its future direction. "We Democrats better think long and hard about what happened ... and how our party is going to connect with the hopes and aspirations of the peop le," Sen. "W e have lost the ability to connect with people's value systems and we're going to have to work to get that back." This material may not b e published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
