Yet, it is unclear how evangelicals will react to the controversy. CBN’s David Brody predicts much of nothing. Brody: “But my hunch is that for the most part, this story does nothing to radically change McCain’s relationship with Evangelicals. I mean, what? All of a sudden Evangelicals won’t vote for him because of this, or now vote for Obama or Clinton? I don’t see it.” Gary Bauer, who endorsed Mac a few weeks ago, suspects the Times of trying to drive a wedge between Christians and the presumptive nominee. Bauer: “Often it seems pretty clear that the real audience is Christian conservatives,” he states. “That is, left-wing newspapers will go after conservative politicians in order to undermine them with Christian conservatives.” Overall, there has not been much response from the Religious Right.
