<p>Thanks. I have no idea whether JLauer was being sarcastic or not, considering that MA is a solidly Dem state (never mind the succession of Repub governors!). But the idea of judging profs by their party affiliation bemuses me.</p>
<p>I agree that with Catholics in particular, the death penalty and abortion make it difficult to separate neatly into conservative and liberals. And among liberals, there are different levels of support for abortion, but that’s another topic of discussion.</p>
