"Democratic activists are trying to maneuver the candidates into statements to feed the Republicans-are-religious-nuts narrative"

The “evangelical” candidates are making this easy by wearing their religion on their sleeve so much. Personally, I wish they’d all ratchet down the religious talk. What they believe about right and wrong, human nature, the role of government, the character and responsibilities of statesmen—these are all determined by their religion, and it’s fine to be open about that, but there is no need to draw so much attention to it.

Alot of the other God-talk going on is not relevant to the role of elected officials and only spooks segments of the population.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

Will they ask Roman Catholic candidates if they really believe the bread and wine literally become Christ’s body and blood? How “scientific” is that?

Will they ask Romney about his Mormon underwear or the name of his planet?
