Evangelical or Christian Conservatives refused to come out and vote for a Mormon. That’s all there is to it. Billy Graham tried to convince them at the last minute because there was so much at stake. For the most part, even with manufactured press releases saying otherwise, they stayed home, voted for unknown candidates, or themselves, or any variety of other candidates. Ask many of our own FReepers what they did. Sarah had the Christian Conservative block firmly in her corner when she was with McCain. It’s an important, powerful block. Otherwise McCain probably records the lowest turnout in history. I don’t think the two campaigns can be compared except for presence of or absence of the Christian conservative voting block. It chose Obama rather than voting for a Mormon. I’m pretty sure the Christian Conservative movement will soon make a decision to form its own party or will demand the controlling interest in one of the major parties. That will be good for everyone.

Correct. I have many Born again friends who see it as a cult and refused to take part.
I’m sure once the numbers are crunched the evangelicals are going to be a big block that stayed home.
Evangelicals voted for Romney with 79%, and Catholic Americans with 48%, and you guys think that Evangelicals are the bad guys?
Who else gave Romney 79% of their vote, no one did.
Ignorant comment, devoid of reality.
Evangelicals chose Obama? Really?
