For GOP evangelicals, Bachmann talks the talk

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour warned several hundred Christian
conservatives gathered in Washington recently not to expect a "perfect
candidate" to emerge from the field of Republican presidential
contenders. "There's only been one perfect person that ever walked on
this earth," Barbour said, sounding as much like a preacher as a
politician. "And there ain't gonna be another one in this election."

None
of the half dozen or so rivals for the GOP nomination who addressed the
June 3–4 Faith and Freedom Coalition conference walked on water, of
course. But for many of the fiscal and social conservatives assembled by
Ralph Reed's new group, one candidate seemed to rise above the rest.

"I
am here to support Michele Bachmann," said Phil Dacosta, a 42-year-old
Southern Baptist from Atlanta. "I don't care about anyone else."
