I saw this first on Lawrence's TLW. Love the way that both of them demolish the "Anti-gay, religious-right Catholic" ideology which some fairly well-informed pundits and sources continued to push last year, talking of how the "Catholic vote" could sink Obama for approving SSM or for the strong stance on abortion taken by DNC speakers in response to the opposition misogyny machine.

When will they click there IS no monolithic "Catholic vote"- and if there ever was, it was for this side?
