Evangelicals have been taken advantage of by the Bush White House and will probably not really fall for Romney or McCain pretending to suddenly be against gays and abortion. Evangelicals are finding out that it is better to have a Democrat who supports some of your issues (poverty, prison reform, environment) than a Republican who just fakes two of them (gays, abortion). Romney is going to get hit hard from the right on his flip flops and hit hard from the left for his positions. I think the majority of people in the middle are sick of the Republican party kissing up to the anti gay/abortion crowd so much as well. Its not going to be Romney in 08.
