Anti-War Evangelicals

They've flipped - according to the latest AP/Ipsos poll. Noam Scheiber notices:

While 52 percent of Republicans support the surge according to a just-released AP/Ipsos poll, some 60 percent of white evangelicals oppose it, as do 56 percent of self-described conservatives.

So we have the beginnings of what I referred to today on the Chris Matthews' Show: an anti-war, socially conservative surge in the Republican party. Now all you have to do is add economic populism to that mix, and you've got yourself a powerful electoral combination. Is this the horse Sam Brownback plans to ride in on? Someone surely will.
