The Christian Right never ceases to surprise professional observers of American politics. With the Christian coalition in disarray, many expected that the movement would play less of a role in the 2004 elections. This title provides an assessment of the role of the religious right in 2004.
"This volume provides thorough, expert analysis of the significance of the Christian Right in the 2004 campaigns. The authors offer clear and detailed discussions of the role of "values" rhetoric and Christian Right mobilization in nine key states. This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the significance of religion in American politics."—Laura R. Olson, Clemson University
