FOXNews.com - 73 Days to Decide: Will Religion Decide November?

FOXNews.com - 73 Days to Decide: Will Religion Decide November?: "The Ground Zero mosque. Gay marriage in California. The president's religion.

These topics have little, if anything, to do with the economy, the issue that has dominated the political landscape all year and sent incumbents into a panic about their own job security. But with just over two months to go until the November midterms, curveball social issues have jolted a campaign season that until now has been about job creation and fiscal discipline -- with a little illegal immigration and health care thrown in the mix.

But the culture wars are starting to play in certain races.
