CHARLESTON, S.C. -- An important ally when George W. Bush first won the presidency, the Christian Coalition of America says it's poised again to help a conservative win the White House.

In the seven years since Bush beat John McCain en route to the Republican nomination, the coalition has spiraled into debt and its leadership has fractured.

Three disgruntled state affiliates have severed ties with the Christian Coalition of America, one of the nation's most powerful conservative groups during the 1990s but now buffeted by complaints over finances, leadership and its plans to veer into nontraditional policy areas.
