...could be one of those nights that, later, we recognize that the election for President was decided. It would hard to imagine a more unlikely scenario, given recent electoral history, than this one. The more openly religious man, the Democrat, is actively competing for the support of evangelical Christians, which no Democrat has been capable of since Bill Clinton.
The Republican candidate is generally uncomfortable talking about his personal beliefs, rather like recent Democrats. Personally, as a secular non-believing emotional spiritualist, I sympathize with him.
Regardless, both men have agreed to appear tonight before one of those "super church" audiences that didn't even exist until recently. This will be a test of their relative ability to connect with an audience of the faithful.
We are witnessing an America that is changing so rapidly that conventional wisdom is of little use. Who knows how this is going to turn out?
