The Obama campaign is planning a major appeal to Evangelical voters in what is being called the ‘Joshua Generation Project’ “based on the biblical story of leading the Israelites to the Promised Land”. From the Brody File:

“The Joshua Generation project will be the Obama campaign’s outreach to young people of faith. There’s unprecedented energy and excitement for Obama among young evangelicals and Catholics. The Joshua Generation project will tap into that excitement and provide young people of faith opportunities to stand up for their values and move the campaign forward.”

The New York Times has a story on Senator McCain and Senator Obama’s evangelical outreach noting the Obama campaign will hire a “full-time evangelical-focused staff member to its existing religious outreach team and is rolling out an effort over the summer to organize over a thousand house parties built around an hour-and-a-half-long curriculum on faith and politics.”
