Schenck is president of the National Clergy Council.

Appearing on Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" radio show, Rev. Schenck told fill-in host Steve Malzberg that Rev. Dr. Argue had visited with the Clintons "numerous times in the White House" and is now helping Mrs. Clinton "learn the language of evangelicalism."

"If she could peel off a small percentage of the evangelical vote, she strongly increases her chances of winning in '08," Schenck told Malzberg.

The leading evangelical first detailed the stunning political development on Monday, in an interview on WBT Charlotte, North Carolina's Jason Lewis Show - where Malzberg was also filling in.

The revelation came two days after Schenck walked out of Rev. Billy Graham's New York City revival, where the Clintons appeared onstage. At the event, Graham suggested that Mr. Clinton should start a ministry of his own while letting Mrs. Clinton "run the country."

Under Rev. Argue's tutelage, Schenck said, Mrs. Clinton "has made a number of overtures to evangelical groups and leaders to sit down and meet with them." However she has yet to follow through and arrange an actual meeting, he noted.
