Courting the ‘faith vote’

As the Pennsylvania Democratic primary draws near, Obama and Clinton are trying to solidify their positions as ‘people of faith’ (still not sure what that phrase means – since faith is only as good as the object in which it is placed) and court the moderates and conservatives who want some religious questions answered. Just thought I would point out an article that discusses issues of faith and politics as well as the forum they are going to have on faith. Keep an eye out for how the term faith is used in this discussion; also see how explicitly either make faith a personal and private, but not public issue (presumably not wanting to impose that on anyone).
