I could tell this came from the NYT without even seeing the byline in the corner. The article it accompanied doesn’t delve enough into the numbers for my taste. While Evangelicals might provide the largest single bloc of voters in the Republican Party, how is it that the rest of the GOP has stood so idly by while they’ve wielded power beyond their numbers? I don’t have enough numbers to be sure (nor am I going to bother to look), but while I’d admit that the traditionalists and centrists identified in the study definitely are a plurality of Republican voters, I don’t think they’re a majority. And yet, they’ve been basically the only voice of “conservatism” for at least the past decade. That’s not right.
