    Born-Agains are voting for WHOM????

    Barna Group, which regularly surveys the political mood of conservative Christians, just released one strange set of findings. According to thier latest poll: If the election were held today, most born-again voters would choose the Democratic nominee for president. Barna's research indicates that "born-again" voters are most likely to vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton (20 percent), followed by Sen. Barack Obama (18 percent), and Mike Huckabee (12 percent). Yes, you read that correctly—SEN. HILLARY CLINTON.

    In its shock and dismay, the Family Research Council points out that to be sure, a born-again ain't what it used to be. The category only includes "people who make a personal commitment to Jesus Christ as their Savior and believe they will go to heaven when they die." A true "evangelical," by contrast, also believes in the accuracy of the Bible, God as the earth's creator, and a few other conditions.

    Still, pretty weird. This is like, back to born again, circa 1950. Maybe it's time for the first female Pat Robertson.
