Faith politics could tip vote view story
Sunday, October 31, 2004
BILL GRAVES and JEFF MAPES - - Oregonian
| Tim Nashif, a key Republican strategist in Oregon who also is running the initiative campaign to ban same-sex marriages here, says he figures there is just one way President Bush can confound the pollsters and win the state.
"I don't think it's going to happen unless there is a dynamic out there that we haven't seen before," he said, "and that would be people of faith voting at a much greater clip than they have in the past."
That precisely defines one of the big unknowns hanging over this election year throughout the nation: Will conservative Christians turn out in large enough numbers to give President Bush another term?
