"Values voters"

Found these two bits interesting in the NYTimes coverage.

Mr. Pawlenty closed his address by invoking both Ronald Reagan and the Bible, repeating a story about the page Reagan’s Bible was opened to when he took the presidential oath of office in 1981.

As Mr. Pawlenty began reading from II Chronicles, his words were soon softly echoed by some members of the crowd, which eventually gave him a standing ovation.

Mr. Pawlenty was preceded on the stage by Bill O’Reilly, the Fox News host. Reporters were turned away from Mr. O’Reilly’s address to the summit. Staff members at the event said that was at Mr. O’Reilly’s request.

Mr. O’Reilly was the only speaker of the day whose speech was closed to the news media.
