Personally I think the domination is coming along pretty nicely. There's a self-described Evenagelical in the White House as we speak, and he sure didn't hold back on appointing a cabinet and federal judges who share his religious identification.

The Evangelical lobby may have possessed the numbers and money in the past, but up until '00 they didn't have the instant means of communication (internet) to whip up instant support for petitions, fundraisers, and grassroots campaigning. I read an article once which mentioned how an Evangelical lobbyist was amazed at how he could collect 10,000 signatures on a petition in a matter of minutes.

IMO what we're seeing is one of the world's most fervent groups become one of the world's most efficiently-mobilized lobbying machines. It will take a massive effort by more moderate groups to counteract that power in the next election.
