The Disappearing God Gap? Religion in the 2008 Presidential Election
It is hardly news to say that the 2008 presidential election made history. Not only did the campaign obliterate all previous records for fundraising and spending, a woman very nearly won a major-party nomination, and the election produced America's first African American president. And for the...

| Summary: | It is hardly news to say that the 2008 presidential election made history. Not only did the campaign obliterate all previous records for fundraising and spending, a woman very nearly won a major-party nomination, and the election produced America's first African American president. And for the first time in a generation—since Jimmy Carter—the Democratic nominee was more comfortable talking about his faith than the Republican, who too easily conflated faith with patriotism and who could not seem to decide if he was a Baptist or an Episcopalian., For Democrats, the takeaway from John Kerry's near miss in 2004 was that they needed to be more avid in their pursuit of religious voters, and The Disappearing God Gap? duly records those efforts. |
