Reports from the "Values Voters Summit"

It’s hard to know where to begin a discussion of the appearances of the GOP presidential candidates at the Family Research Council’sValues Voters Summit.”  For now, here are some links.  My own analysis will follow tomorrow.

On Salon.com, Michael Scherer focused on Giuliani’s reception.  (“A mixed message for Rudy from the Christian right”).  The New Republic’s politics blog offers some interesting tidbits.

From the Left, great coverage, speech-by-speech, over at Faith in Public Life.  Almost as comprehensive coverage from the Right is available at Town Hall.  If you like your coverage a bit more down the middle, Mark Ambinder had a great series of posts at his blog on the Atlantic’s website.

The speech texts I could find are here (McCain, Romney, Thompson, Giuliani).  The straw poll results are here

American’s United has its take here including, as always, a great Barry Lynn quote: “This may be the biggest collection of theocrats in one room since the Salem Witch Trials.”

More soon.
