Campaign Outreach to Religious Voters | Capital Commentary by Kimberly H. Conger.  MGB: The interesting aspect of religious outreach this year is that it points to a fault line between what religious leaders and people in the pews think about both contraception and marriage equality.  I suspect that Chicago has decided that picking a fight with leaders would be counter-productive, so past voters are being targeted as such rather than with a religious angle.  Bishops and pastors would be wise to not stress these issues this time, because they may have more to lose than Obama, who seems likely to win given the Electoral College math.  Of course, such a discussion may actually do some sects some good if they create a vocal prophetic response on these issues.
