More on the Democrats and People of Faith.

Haven't written much (I'm still in Austin and my blogging time is limited to early morning) about the ongoing reaction to Sen. Barack Obama's speech a couple of weeks ago but here's an analysis and reaction for Gregory Rodriguez in the LA Times.
By ceding the language of faith to the GOP, the Democrats have allowed Republicans to treat "religion" and "evangelical" and "conservative" as if all three terms were synonymous. But by developing a renewed respect for the faith of the American public, the Democrats have an opportunity not only to revive their hopes to capture the White House but to demonstrate that the religious landscape in contemporary America is as diverse as it ever was.
