Having run arguably the least effective presidential campaign in modern political history is probably one of the main things that makes Beckel a Fox kind of Democrat. Beckel is actually not a huge Tebow supporter - I have read him criticizing the Tebowite claim that God intervenes to help the teams of Christians win. My sense is that Beckel is one of those old time Catholic Democrats (the very kind he lost in droves in the Mondale campaign, and became known as Reagen Democrats), and he takes his Jesus pretty seriously. He does not like Tebow because he things Tebow is basically monitizing his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and he did not like SNL for debasing JC by using him to make a buck in pop culture. Fair enough I suppose - though something tells me Beckel never objected to his candidates going to all of those Knights of Columbus banquets and saying the Lord's Prayer. -- TV or Not TV ....
