22% of the electorate voting today are evangelical Christians, Steve Waldman, the founder of Beliefnet is saying on NPR. Waldman: "For evangelical voters, they have a very emotional connection to President Bush, that goes beyond policy, to a sense that he is one of them, a sense that they have arrived in American culture because he is there, a connection and sense of empowerment that goes beyond the issues of gay marriage or abortion," etc.
