McCain's best hope with evangelicals...

... is, according to this Time article, apparently to try to convince that demographic, who have been less than enthused with his candidacy, that Barack Obama is the Antichrist. Literally.
It seems a little far-fetched, for an ad claimed by the McCain campaign to be simply "creative" and "humorous," like the Paris Hilton ad which has gotten much more attention so far, although this one has been aired more often.
But after reading the article, and remembering a little of the evangelical mindset/imagery, and then watching the ad for the first time, I think folks like Tony Campolo, the Democrats' highest-profile evangelical supporter, are right to be alarmed.
