"Praise God And Pass Out The Cash" Faith-based initiatives, perhaps?
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1108-30.htm

SNIP.."Give credit where credit is due. President George W. Bush's faith-based initiatives did exactly what they were intended to do on Election Day. By giving, or promising to give, taxpayer money to churches, Bush was able to win the support of kinky clergymen everywhere.

His handout to religious groups was so successful that even the Roman Catholic bishops rooted for him. They spent the campaign badmouthing one of their own, John F. Kerry, who never knew what hit him.

SNIP..."The election campaign of 2004 turned out to be exactly as advertised, full of twists and turns, shocks and surprises, and more than a few dirty tricks.

One of the surprises was the inaccuracy of the exit polls on election day. Exit polls are famous for their accuracy, because they measure what is rather than what might be. They're almost always 100 percent accurate. The one exception is when George W. Bush is running for public office. Then the polls are off....."

This is an interest analysis with some things I had not actually thought about.
