Jim Wallis: Defeat for Religious Right and Secular Left
Jim Wallis, in his God's Politics blog saysIn this election, both the Religious Right and the secular Left were defeated, and the voice of the moral center was heard. A significant number of candidates elected are social conservatives on issues of life and family, economic populists, and committed to a new direction in Iraq. This is the way forward: a grand new alliance between liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, one that can end partisan gridlock and involves working together for real solutions to pressing problems. ...That's not the first place I've heard that a lot of the new Democrats in the House are social conservatives. Perhaps social liberals shouldn't take too much for granted right now.
