The West Wing, Season Seven

Josh:
After the round table we're going to have to put something out clarifying the Congressman's statement on Intelligent Design.

Lou:
That says what, he thinks God's a moron?

Josh:
He's running for President, not preacher-in-chief.

Lou:
He's not going to use Medicaid for communion wafers. He said he believes in God, as did Abe Lincoln and George Washington.

Josh:
We can't get sucked into these local issues.

Lou:
Yes, except Republicans have nominated the first pro-choice and, by all accounts, anti-God candidate in history. For the first time, we have a chance to reach into their base and win back religious voters, to tell a swath of the heartland that maybe, just maybe, we have a nominee who's not hostile to their cultural values.
