Seeking their Reward Here on Earth

Evangelical Christians are claiming they put President Bush over the top in last week's election -- and they want their reward here on Earth.

After incoming Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) suggested anti-abortion judges would have a tough time being confirmed, a prominent evangelical struck back.

James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, said on "This Week," "[Specter] is a problem, and he must be derailed."

The President's political guru, Karl Rove, says President Bush will pursue a gay marriage ban in his second term. The issue passed in all 11 states where it was on the ballot last week and has been attributed to a large evangelical turnout.

But David Brooks in the New York Times this weekend says the evangelical vote is being overblown. He points out that as a group, they voted in about the same numbers as in past elections and other factors have to be counted in the President's reelection.
