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.
I am thinking that maybe no state that went ‘pub lost the Catholic vote. Of course if this is all the states that were exit polled for religion, we might not ever know. But if these are correct numbers(he says they are still not complete) it does indeeed look like Obama won a heck of a lot of states despite getting less than 50% of the general Catholic vote in them, which is the opposite of what the whole ‘50% win among Catholics’ would lead one to think. And of course that is what the media went with. The article says it best:
“For now, it’s worth noting the curious fact that most news outlets have not made much of an effort to dig into the Catholic results. In several ways, Catholic voters were trending back a bit towards Catholic values, but how, why – and in many cases, why not – will occupy us in our next.”
But if Catholics in Va voted R by 10 points, I have a hard time imagining places like Alabama or Kentucky losing the Catholic vote to Obama.
I still can’t get over Romney winning the Catholic vote in NY. That is flat-out shocking, amazing.
