Is Dobson Really Losing His Power?

The Economist seems to think so.....

The problem is that Mr Dobson is not all that good at politics. He
displays all the characteristic weaknesses of evangelical
politicos—overreaching hopelessly and then blaming failure on want of
political courage. He was the prime force behind both the fight to keep
Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube in place and the push for a gay-marriage
ban. But a majority of evangelicals disapproved of the first and a
large number of his fellow social conservatives warned, rightly, that
the second was a waste of effort.





I myself, think rumors of the Religious Right's declining power are wishful thinking and grossly overstated.
