But then he goes and picks up one of the most passionate pro-lifers in politics? He may have alienated more women than he picked up with his VP choice.

This presupposes all Hillary supporters are passionately pro-choice. This pick goes after women like two friends of my wife. Both are suburban moms and for the most part, conservative. They are also both professionals, although taking time to raise children. They wanted Hillary all along. Why? Because she is a woman. That was it, they wanted to see a woman elected.
Not a big sample size, I know, but I wonder how many suburban women out there feel the same.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
