I'm surprised this interview didn't touch on whether the voting habits of the Christian Right would be affected by the revelations of Mr. Kuo and others similarly enlightened. The Bushists made their political careers appealing to the basest hatreds and fears of "traditional" Americans and have been spectacularly successful. Even policies that screw the faithful are accepted as God's word. Ignore that the "traditional" American is now likely to be unmarried and doesn't attend church.
It's unlikely the Christian Right will give up on Bush and vote for Democrats, who are, or course, all pro-choice, in favor of gay marriage and hate America. If they have developed a distaste for Republicans, it will most likely result in their not voting at all.
Actually, that's just as well...
