On a Mission From God

Some good news:

'Ten Commandments judge' won't rule out challenge to Bush
Ousted Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore is focused on trying to get his job back but will not rule out a third-party run for the presidency that could threaten President Bush's re-election chances.

Evangelicals frustrated by Bush
President Bush left several million evangelical voters "on the table" four years ago and again is having trouble energizing Christian conservatives, prominent leaders on the religious right say.
"It's not just economic conservatives upset by runaway federal spending that he's having trouble with. I think his biggest problem will be social conservatives who are not motivated to work for the ticket and to ensure their fellow Christians get to the polling booth," said Robert H. Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute.


As I wrote earlier, the Democrats have a real chance to rob Bush of some fundementalist votes if they play their cards right. The fact that Roy Moore might run for President makes the odds of this even better. We wouldn't have to simply rely on the Christian Right's discontent with and lack of enthusiasm for Bush. A dynamic third party campaign could take even more votes away by providing an attractive alternative for evangelicals.
