Hopefully they won't replace him and the Radical Right/ Religious Reich, or Christian Right...however you say it, will learn how to use their brains in assessing truth in this world instead of assuming everything around them, teletubbies included, are in on a huge conspiracy to turn everyone gay!

Falwell was the best guy at the time of creation of the moral majority. But, I am sure one of those other zealots will jump up and take the reigns of power. Always amazed me how much religious people love power.
Falwell said some stupid stuff, but he was straight arrow in his beliefs. He was never caught with his hand in the cash register or in a little boy's pants.
It is sad that his Moral Majority has been mislead by so many amoral leaders. Senators and preachers caught... well you know what they were caught doing.
It is not because of his death, rather the disillusionment of his followers because other leaders have been SO immoral, I think the religious right will stop voting as a block.

Falwell never affected the way I voted in the first place. Much less since he is gone. I am a Christian, but he was a little to overbearing and fanatical in his stupid comments at times. The remark about Tinkie Winkie with a purse did it for me. I knew the guy was in trouble when he said that. You can hardly cast stones when you have been caught with a hooker.

Rev. Falwell was a powerful speaker and there doesn't seem to be anyone out there (that I have seen) who can speak with such force and persuasiveness. Robertson is a whiner, Dobson is a loser, Reed is a crook.
Falwell was an institution and love him or hate him, the American political scene is diminished by his passing.

I think they'll still keep republicans in the White House. The Democrats have no in-road to those millions of votes... On the local level, who knows? Though I predict the dems to hold serve there with the unpopularity of the military action in Iraq. It's easier to break the voting bloc on a smaller level. I smell gerrymandering...

Not at all. Most of the Christian Right are dedicated to what they believe and will vote accordingly. I have problems with the fact, that a majority of these people are one issue voters (be that abortion, gay marriage, etc), but there are also a lot of voters on the left that are the same way.

No effect. There is someone else ready to step up and take Falwell's place.

It won't affect it hardly at all, Falwell's power declined years ago.

Probably not much, as he has become less influental over the past several years then he was in the 90's

Who cares? The Christian Right will just find some other hack to "spread the word of god through the secular media".
Ugh.
