Black churches provide infrastructure to the DNC. Souls to polls? That didn’t come out of thin air. Hell, most of inner city GOTV fueled by black churches. The Dems have had 40-50 years of their tentacles in these churches. Black matriarchs overwhelming attend these churches and tell their younger family how to vote.

Not saying it did. Only saying that that's not the Dems' primary thrust in the current climate.

True, but black church attendance/Christianity is actually declining among my peers. AKA, the ones who Dems are targeting for their new "rock the vote" pushes since '08. Churches aren't the way to disseminate their message--pop culture is. That's the battleground.

True - the DEMOCRATs work thru the black church leadership to provide outreach to the black female audience. DEMs don't beleive in any religious principles, but are all too eager to bribe black pastors with the crumbs of recognition and feeling of 'being at the table' in exchange for their cooperation in the GOTV.
