Bauer Downplays Barr's Impact
McCain supporter Gary Bauer does not appear too worried about Bob Barr's entrance into the presidential race: "'I think the conventional wisdom says, yes, [Barr] will be a problem,' said Gary Bauer, president of American Values, a socially conservative group, and a former GOP candidate for president. 'I think he could get 1 or 2 percent, but I'm not sure out of whose hide it comes,' Bauer added."  #

RNC Plans "Aggressive" Religious Outreach on Behalf of McCain
Via The Brody File: "'We are going to have a very aggressive program to reach out to religious voters whether they are Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic or whatever. That is a staple of our campaign because what we find is that the most religious voters certainly in terms of Church attendance tend to vote Republican more than the general public. There are a lot of voters there for us. The senator’s team has been meeting with these (pro-family) groups. He has conducted some meetings and he’ll continue to have such meetings.'" David Barton is probably waiting by his phone for a call from the RNC to start ramping up his efforts.  #
