Chad I'm deeply disappointed by your phrase "her religious affiliation may turn off some voters." While it may be true that there are bigoted people who consider her freedom to follow or not follow a particular religion as a disqualification, why would you even say that? That belongs with another similar statement "the color of her skin may turn off some voters" that may be true but is bigoted and vile to even think let alone say in a reputable article. For those of us who have been discriminated against  it is very hurtful and sickening to see that kind of discrimination validated. I ask you please, kindly remove that statement or add in that her skin color might also effect some voters to show the statement for what it really is.
