WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Sam Brownback met Wednesday with influential evangelical leaders and said religious conservatives are moving in his direction as they learn more about his anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage views.
Brownback's meeting with 15 to 20 evangelical pastors came as the Kansas senator maps out his strategy for the Aug. 11 straw poll in Ames.
"It's typical in an election that people hold back and want to get a good feel for the candidate," said Brownback. "Now we're getting within eyeshot of Aug. 11 and they're breaking and a lot of them are breaking our way."
