The President and the first lady opted to ditch their traditional Christmas Eve plans to spend some time courting evangelical voters in West Palm Beach.
Nobody sensible seems to think the CT editorial means much in terms of numbers across the broad spectrum of evangelicals, who are among his solidest supporters. But if he has to shore up that support, well, thatās not a bad thing. Even the slightest worrisome fissure to me is one of those āIāll take itā things. He cannot win with just the base.
