Any Other Dems Slightly Scared Now?

It's important to remember that regardless what lead Obama has had during the campaign whether it's level with Romney, up 2 points or up 5 he has always outperformed Romney in the swing states. His national lead may have bounced up and down in August/September but didn't really affect his lead in states like Ohio which had been scarily constant. His electoral college numbers also remained constant. When Rasmussen had him down 2 points to Romney last month he still performed well in the state polls.

However we've had some interesting post debate polls that suggest his lead in Florida and Virginia have been eliminated and in danger in Ohio. Those would be worrying signs, but they are 'snapshot' polls so we need more out of these states to be sure.

I understand religious freedom and religious conscience. But does it really have to trump everything? Why should someone be denied coverage because of their providers 'religious objections'?

Then they are free to seek employment with an employer who does provide these services. That's how the free market works. If an employer wants to provide full contraceptive services to all their employees - I have no problem with that. But an employer should also have the option to provide no contraceptive services too.

So if exemptions for religious 'conscience' are okay, why not other forms of 'conscience.' What if a white man consciouslly objects to mixing of the races? Should he be free to refuse to provide services to people as a result? That's the question I was asking; why does religious conscience trump everything else?
