The GOP finds that olde tyme religion

Curiously following pressure from religious conservatives, the RNC is announcing additional speakers for their September affair to remember. While it's not yet clear whether or not they'll get prime-time speaking slots, Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Sam Brownback (R-KS) are among the new announcements; coincidentally, both have busied themselves lately by spearheading the Senate marriage battle - a policy push designed to reel in the party's right wing.

While the RNC will likely defend the new announcements by saying they were planned all along, one certainly wonders why they didn't even hint about the upcoming (and prominent) speakers list when conservatives first started making noises over two weeks ago.
