Myrtle Beach, S.C. \u2013 It had the feeling of a Great Depression tent revival, but the speakers weren\u2019t calling for the participants to come to Jesus, because most of them already have. They were searching for the right words to get politically active Christians in South Carolina<\/a> to come together before primary voting Saturday.<\/p>\n

The candidates and other key leaders spoke to about 300 people in a tent across Monday\u2019s debate location, who appeared to mostly be evangelical Christians undecided, and looking for a candidate to settle on.<\/p>\n

South Carolina Rep. Tim Scott fired the audience up by asking, \u201cDo you love Jesus? Yes you do!\u201d said Scott as the audience roared.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere we are on the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but we know now the minority who is under the greatest attack are Christians. I believe we can look no further than the word of God to help save from these attacks,\u201d Scott screamed.<\/p>\n

The tone of the event was established by Faith and Freedom founder, Ralph Reed, who is no stranger to rallying Christian troops and keeping track of them. He also is keenly aware that 17 million evangelicals failed to show up to vote in 2008 and he knows that if that even half of those people don\u2019t cast their votes, then President Obama can serve another four years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt our peak during the heyday of the Christian Coalition, we had a database of about 80 thousand evangelical voters,\u201d Reed told the crowd. \u201cBecause of technology, we have a tremendous amount of data. We know who you are because we\u2019re tracking over 130 million households today.\u201d<\/p>\n
