63. So, the only real tie is that she goes to the Prayer Breakfast?
That's it? I mean, she's a Christian, goes to her own church, doesn't live with The Family, doesn't go to meetings there, but she goes to the Senate Prayer Breakfast?

Um . . . how is that a conspiracy? I know evangelical code, and I don't hear her speak much of it (grew up evangelical, went to an evangelical college with required chapel, still am evangelical in some ways as an Orthodox Christian). She may use a term here and there, but I have yet to see a real pattern. Her language sounds more like her husband's psychobabble, frankly.

Prayer, even in a group, is still a fairly personal thing. Even if she's in the room, it doesn't mean anything other than she needs a weekly uplift of prayer to center herself. Doing it with a roomful of important people she's trying to get votes from doesn't seem all that spiritual, frankly, but if she finds a way to breathe in it and center herself in prayer, I'm not going to attack her.
