Preacher Kerry?
18 October 2004The Washington Post's Jim VandeHei describes the evolution of John Kerry's religious persona from a reserved and private Catholic to a "Democratic preacher of sorts" who increasingly finds himself behind the pulpit: quoting "Amazing Grace," preaching about the Good Samaritan, and criticizing President Bush over Social Security, unemployment and the killings in Darfur. Friends told VandeHei that Kerry has "gained a deeper appreciation of how voters in many of the battleground states -- from Hispanic Catholics in New Mexico to evangelical Christians in rural Ohio -- seek candidates of faith, or at least desire reassurance that their president shares most of their values."
