I think the following may explain why Republicans keep on returning to the contraception issue. Their vision is the “Obama versus Religion” headline. This vision dazzles them, and drives them crazier and crazier. “Obama versus Religion” is a no-win for Obama. They just know it. If only they could put that theme out in front of America in 2012! This is their seductive dream. They can’t stop now. They’re so close! There’s gotta be something there! After all, the Catholic bishops were against Obama’s contraception regulation. That’s gotta be something Republicans can use!

No, it doesn’t make sense, but those Republicans are hooked.
