I notice she did not go into depth on why she would vote for Romney. One thing being under reported is the number of black ministers preaching to their congregation that they should not vote for President Obama because of his support of gay rights.

I do believe democrats are not combating this enough. We need to realize that churches cannot be counted on to help get out the vote and may actually be working against the president.
