Howard the Donkey Wants to Court Evangelicals

Howard Dean wants Democrats to go after evangelical Christians, but his theology seems a little shaky:
RENO, Nevada (AP) — Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean urged members of his party Monday to reach out to a constituency usually aligned with Republicans — evangelical Christians.

In a speech in Nevada Monday, Dean said evangelicals are undergoing a “generational change” that emphasizes social responsibility over social conservatism. He noted that he’s never seen gay marriage mentioned in the Bible, but there are many references to inclusiveness and helping the poor.

Gay marriage might not be mentioned in the Bible, but that could be thanks to the many passages that cite homosexuality as an "abomination". You can sort of draw your own conclusions about gay marriage from there.
