[0:02] The Republican presidential contenders
[0:04] find religion. McCain gives leaders of
[0:07] the religious right holy hell, while
[0:10] Bush tries to mend fences with Roman
[0:12] Catholics. Federal agents tell CBS News
[0:16] how rogue Los Angeles cops beat them up.
[0:19] And Eye on America investigates the
[0:21] silent killer in nursing homes.
[0:26] This is the CBS Evening News.
[0:31] With Dan Rather reporting from CBS News

[1:22] political religious war. John McCain
[1:25] took dead aim at the leaders of the
[1:27] conservative religious right right on
[1:30] its home turf.
[1:31] Pat Robertson,
[1:33] Jerry Falwell, and a few Washington
[1:35] leaders of the pro-life movement call me

[1:42] Why?
[1:43] Because I don't pander to them.
[1:45] McCain's attack is risky in tomorrow's
[1:47] Virginia primary where more than a third
[1:49] of the voters ar
