AU is not into the political things beyond the church/state stuff. Barry is aware of the crazy stuff Jerry is saying about him......assuming he got the information about the SWBTS "chapel" devotional with the county GOP providing special worship music.
Haven't gotten AU too interested in Texas stuff. Foy Valentine's nephew has been working to get them interested and wants them to do something with the report I sent him about Lufkin. Jan Russell is a key figure in the Texas Monthly loop who does the faith stuff. I am trying to get her tied into this conflict that is taking shape before her. Floyd, SBT and etc. want to run the world and she needs to know that they are telling untrue stories about the husband of her biography. Moyers needs to know that his old boss is at the center of the controversy and what James Kennedy and Barton are spinning is not true.....but as the SBC proves the perception of the truth is more powerful than the truth.
Jackson told me Cain often visited his church in Arizona and was a respectable guy. Cain himself will not say much about SC. He probably wants to play his cards right and get another shot without ticking off Rowe, and Co. Lynn probably knows that Bush, Gore, Kerry, etc. can't be trusted to stand up and its best to not get tied into them.
