Many on the left disagree. Even Sullivan's colleague at Washington Monthly, Kevin Drum, is skeptical of attempts to woo evangelicals to cross the aisle. Drum believes that many evangelicals, 'care way more about sex and 'moral degeneracy' than they do about helping the poor,' although he concedes that Sullivan makes a very compelling argument. Considering the minute margin by which Bush won, if even a few more evangelicals began to vote Democratic, 'the result could,' Sullivan argues, 'alter the electoral map in a more significant and permanent way.' And that would have a lot of Democrats singing 'Hallelujah.'
