I think that Kennedy could never accept the fact that Bill was the first Democrat to be re-elected since FDR. Well, Johnson, but this was different.

And, it was clear to me that one reason why he actively recruited Obama in 2005 (not that Obama was not willing.. was to block Hillary.

I have always blamed Reagan for bringing religion into politics when, in 1980, these groups _ Ralph Reed? - actively campaigned for him. But, really, it was Carter who brought his Evangelicalism to the White House.
