Because if she loses, the margin of loss is most likely because she's a Sikh. Kind of like Bobby Jindal's first loss (although he is a Christian.)
Im pretty sure she says shes christian.
She has been a bit fuzzy on it... I think she goes to church with her husband and her kids are being raised Christian... but she has been private about it and some of her statements indicate she has a foot in both camps. Not like Bobby Jindal, whose conversion and strong faith are a huge part of his biography.
God, I sound like a birther. I mean this completely respectfully, I'm not Christian myself.
It's horrible that Indian Americans feel they need to Anglicise their names and change their religion to be politically viable.
I hope she pulls through. Probably the only Republican I'm supporting.
