I find it interesting that religious affiliations are hurting a candidate. This is not the first instance in which this has hurt Obama. Why couldn’t that have happened 8 years ago? Yes, race and religion are two different things but… I hope the religion card becomes a bad one to play. Not that I am against religion but I don’t appreciate that influence on our elections especially since it is the evangelicals that have made and threaten to make the most headway with it. The more candidates would keep it in the closet the better IMO.
