It appears that Pat Robertson is losing favor even among evangelicals. Robertson has long been on the board of Directors for the National Religious Broadcasters. When he ran for reelection, there were 36 candidates for 33 seats. He lost. The Washington Post reports: If evidence is needed that the Rev. Pat Robertson's shoot-from-the-hip approach to world affairs has embarrassed some of his fellow evangelicals, it comes from the recently concluded convention of the National Religious Broadcasters.

Robertson, 75, a longtime member of the NRB's board of directors, failed to win reelection despite good odds: He was one of about 36 candidates running for 33 seats, NRB President Frank Wright said. In 1988, Robertson finished second on the Republican side of the Iowa Presidential caucuses finishing ahead of, inter alia, George H. W. Bush.

That is a long way from finishing 34th or lower for a seat on the NRB board. I expect him to hit bottom soon. Perhaps not a Jimmy Swaggart or Jim Bakker kind of bottom but a hard landing nonetheless. He is just too toxic.
