He does not speak for all Evangelicals, and he certainly does not speak for all Christians. I grew up in the Midwest and got an incredible spiritual education at a conservative church. I am appalled by the policies advanced by McCain and the Bush administration BECAUSE I am a Christian. I am certainly not the only person who feels this way. The Republican party has lost a lot of ground with the church and will continue to as long as they act without any regard for basic morality (I am speaking generally here, and not implying that every Republican in the country is morally bankrupt).
This is not to say that I have any illusions that one candidate or the other is more "Christian." I simply find Obama's policies and rhetoric more in line with my sense of morality, which is based on my understanding of the Bible, both from personal study and the teachings of genuinely conservative ministers such as my father.
