That concept is one of the factors I'm trying to figure out with Obama. While he isn't out of the same evangelical mold as Bush, there are many similarities. Regular attendance at church. Uses clergy as advisors. Political roots and support linked to a somewhat fundamentalist religious background. I'm not saying we'd get the same results as with Bush, just that I'm concerned that religious factors have been and continue to be an important part of his life. His religious life mingles with his public life more so than with Hillary or McCain who seem to be the "go to church on Easter and Christmas and smile for photo ops" types.
