Christian Coalition Faces Financial Distress

Yesterday's Washington Post reports that the once politically powerful Christian coalition has fallen on hard financial times. While it once employed a dozen Capitol Hill lobbyists, now it has only one Washington employee who works out of his home. The departure of Pat Robertson after a controversial CNN interview defending China's one-child policy, the departure of Ralph Reed to become a political consultant, and battles over the group's tax status because of its voters' guides all had an impact on the Coalition's fund-raising ability.
