Quick quiz: FotF succession edition

Question: Does this nugget from Focus on the Family's new CEO--
Daly says he is results-oriented, not an ideologue.

"When those who are right, left and center all say, 'Let's make abortion rare,' let's meet at that starting point," Daly said. "Let's shove off the rhetoric and get together on practical matters."
--prove any of the following?
  • OMG, the religious right is dead!
  • Most evangelicals are totally moderates!
  • The religious right is very much alive, Jim Wallis and Tony Campolo just use their "hey, we should do something about all the poor people!" shtick to distract from the fact that they're totally part of it, and now they've got their man at Focus!
Or is it just that, along with (perhaps) not being a blowhard and a bully, Daly's a bit savvier than Dobson?
