Your Call 091809 Why has the religious right remained so strong?

Why has the religious right remained so powerful despite a string of political losses and embarrassing scandals? On the next Your Call we speak with Max Blumenthal, author of the NY Times best seller, Republican Gomorrah: Inside The Movement That Shattered The Party. Blumenthal traces the roots of the American religious right, the people who laid the philosophical groundwork, and the obscure people at its helm today. How much power do they actually wield?
