HA! You're kidding, right? Church has nothing to do with it except for the average voter. Around there (and trust me my family is from there), it's called "the good ole boy network". And that is the real power in the region.Oh people will be polite to you but no one would take you seriously if you decided to run for public office and didn't have a solid record of attending Church.
Oddly enough, my parents worked on the John Grisham campaign to get him elected to the MS state Congress. In fact he was in their house at least once that I know of for a meeting. This was of course long before I was born. I'm 26 now.
