Hopeful Quote of the Day

From Amy Sullivan:

When Democrats talk about reaching out to religious voters--particularly evangelicals--critics on the left often complain that such a strategy can work only with conservative, pro-life candidates like Bob Casey. There is no way, they argue, to win the support of moderate evangelicals and Catholics without changing the party's positions on abortion and gay marriage.
...
Democrats who envision a future of hard-core, pro-life, anti-gay-rights candidates as their only hope can stop hyperventilating. It turns out that moderate evangelical and Catholic voters are willing to push the button for Democratic candidates. But sometimes it helps to talk to them first.
