There has to be a reason the GOP in those states are so welcoming to these overtures (by the creationists/DI people.) Either the politicians truly believe it (in which case they may well be truly representative of their constituency), or, they believe they can’t win without the religious voting block.

It could be that the representative truly believe it, but it doesn’t follow that they’re representative of their constituency. It that others in the party aren’t running against creationists, so we’re left with creationists running for office. Most republicans aren’t asking about this issue in the vetting process. Maybe we should.
