Subtext: Hamilton is proving to be a hard target for the GOP.
When Vance attacked his faith, a local UMC bishop and 120 UMC pastors issued statements defending him.
When competitor Sen. Marshall called him "too woke for Kansas," Marshall's *own pastor* suggested otherwise.
NEW: Last month, I flew to Kansas to speak with Rev. Adam Hamilton, the megachurch pastor running for Senate — as a Democrat.
He talked to me about "progressive evangelicalism," and I talked to his congregants.
Here's the thing: he has a real chance.
