From the clips I saw, I thought Obama did an excellent job of addressing that audience (and by that audience I mean the wider religious audience that would have been paying attention to the event, not just those in the auditorium). He seemed pretty adept at both referencing the biblical precedent for certain moralities while presenting stances that didn't require buying into biblical truth to agree with. And there was at least one instance where he said what sounded like a fairly striaght forward sentence that illicited an enthusiastic response from the audience, which I figued must mean it was one of those coded phrases that the republicans have been so adept at slipping into their rhetoric. I don't particularly like the tactic, but as long as his positions remain secularly defensible, if pandering a bit to the fundies wins the election I can't be too upset about it.
