\"obama36.jpg\"After a conference call today announcing the launch of its Catholic National Advisory Council, the Obama camp released the council’s full roster. It’s a long and impressive llist of elected officials, scholars, and activists. The Obama camp is treating Catholics as Hillary Clinton’s base–in Pennsylvania, they may be–and knows it has to go all out to eat into it.
