Apparently the socially conservative issues which the Bush campaign has used so effectively in garnering evangelical support has proved itself a barrier in capturing support from moderate to liberals who make up the bulk of the Jewish population. It appears some religious voters actually value pluralism and are repelled by anti-gay campaigns. How does this fit into the story that we've heard over the religion/secular divide which at times was not distinguished from a right/left divide in this country? Perhaps the story the media tells about religion and politics needs adjustment?
