By Randall Balmer

…lic endorsement from a minister, for instance, or partisan-inflected voter registration drives), then I think we have a problem. Obama, however, eager to court religious voters—and sending a clear signal early in the campaign that he will not cede the evangelical vote to the Republican Party—apparently sees no such constitutional complications in the faith-based initiative program he proposes.
