Book May Help Obama Woo Evangelical Christians

By Paddy


Man, I miss the days when a persons religion was a private matter and not a talking point to be scrutinized at every turn. Via Taeggan-

Politico got an early look at a new book by Stephen Mansfield, the conservative Evangelical biographer of both George W. Bush and Tom DeLay. "And his new book, due out this summer, may lend credibility to Senator Obama's bid to win Evangelical Christian voters away from the Republican Party."

The forthcoming volume from Mansfield, "whose sympathetic The Faith of George W. Bush spent 15 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004, is titled The Faith of Barack Obama. Its tone ranges from gently critical to gushing, and the author defends Obama-and even his controversial former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright-from conservative critics, and portrays him as a compelling figure for Christian voters."
