In a HARDtalk programme broadcast on 16th October, Stephen Sackur talks to the President of American Values, Gary Bauer.

Nine out of ten Americans say they believe in God, but are they ready for a Vice President who believes the Biblical version of creation rather than the theory of evolution?

Senator John McCain picked Sarah Palin to energise the evangelical base of the Republican party, but it's not yet clear whether that base is big enough to swing an election.

Gary Bauer is a leader of the social conservative movement within the Republican party.

Stephen Sackur asks whether his values are really America's values.



HARDtalk is broadcast on BBC World News at 03:30 GMT, 08:30 GMT, 14:30 GMT, 20:30 GMT and 22:30 GMT

HARDtalk can also be seen on BBC News at 04:30 BST
