What if they truly believe in the Republican platform? Why do they have to be a poster boy/girl for the GOP/Religious Right? Why can't they just really like the Republican party: what they stand for and what they are about? And what about the poster children of the Democrat party? Is it easier voting for them because they are percieved to 'stand for' what 'we'/you are about?
I'd hate to think people were active in the political process just to be someone else's so-called poster child and not research their own opinions. This might be the case for some, but really, not for ALL.

BTW--Not trying to 'rag' or anything, but I will play Devil's Advocate because most of what I am studying involves Political Parties/Public Opinion and I am interested in how this plays out. Especially considering the rise of the conservative black coalition...
