William F. Buckley, founder of the National Review, died yesterday of unknown causes at the age of 82. Douglas Martin at the New York Times writes:

 Mr. Buckley’s greatest achievement was making conservatism — not just electoral Republicanism, but conservatism as a system of ideas — respectable in liberal post-World War II America. He mobilized the young enthusiasts who helped nominate Barry Goldwater in 1964, and saw his dreams fulfilled when Reagan and the Bushes captured the Oval Office.

Barack Obama's campaign recently released a memo showing him drawing a far higher percentage of religious voters in many states (click here for PDF). But Beliefnet's "God-o-Meter" points out a recent Gallup finding that "Hillary Clinton has Edge Among Highly Religious Democrats." The Gallup analysis notes:

Clinton, as seen in this analysis, at this point in the campaign has been able to disproportionately gain the support of religious white Democrats. Whether this national pattern can bolster her efforts to prevail over Obama as the Democratic nominee is less clear. For one thing, the percentage of the white Democratic electorate that is highly religious is smaller than is the case among Republicans. In the sample used for this analysis, 25% of white Democrats attend church weekly, while 57% say they seldom or never attend church. Thus, the allegiance of highly religious white Democrats has limited impact in that they constitute a minority of white Democratic voters.

The Guardian describes the myriad reasons that the Bush presidential library has been met with opposition at Southern Methodist University. From "Row over Bush's 'censored' library":

A number of academics at SMU and elsewhere in the US believe the war on Iraq and the president's views on issues such as gay rights and torture made the university an unsuitable location.
 
Alarm has also been expressed over the independent institute that will fund research promoting Bush's ideas and vision. Academics have also said that an executive order, signed by Bush, which gives presidents and their families more control over presidential papers, could result in material being censored.

As the Christian Post reports, "Union Theological Seminary Appoints First Woman President." Dr. Serena Jones, a Yale Divinity School professor, will become president of Union Theological Seminary this summer:

"In the intellectual Christian world, Union Theological Seminary has long held a preeminent position shaping not only American religious life but its cultural and political values as well." Jones said. "At the present historical moment, in North America and globally, Union stands ready to assume this role with renewed vigor, intellectual acuity and abiding faith."
