That looks a heck of a lot better than last time, exepting some places, which did worse...NJ,Pa, Ct what happened? Still NY, Pa, Ia, Fla, Oh, Mi, NH, Wis?!! WOW!
This national number of Obama winning with 50% of the vote is useless—we vote by state and the electoral college. How is the 50% number useful when you have splits between states like La and NM, where in La McCain got 70% of the Catholic vote and in NM Obama got 70% of the Catholic vote? The only thing I Can think of that is throwing everything off is Cali, huge number of Catholics in Cali must be affecting the % of Catholics without regard to the electoral college.
I am SHOCKED that NY Catholics went with Romney. Last time Obama got 60%. The only really big state that I am still curious about is Texas, that would be interesting.
Freegards, thanks for the awesome pings on FR
These are interesting stats and belie the lie that it is Catholics in general contributing to Obama’s victory. In all the states that mattered (50 percent plus 1), Catholics by and large would have defeated Obama.
Obama’s coalition is secularists and non-Christians and you protestants need to be going after them.
