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.

Why? I'm sure atheists voted for Romney, also, as did Buddhists. Personally, I believe anyone who did vote for barry is anti-American and, also, clueless to that fact.

And it is what many here want you to believe as well. The greatest threat to them is the idea that maybe, just maybe, the Catholic church has it right. I am glad to see that it is starting to funnel down that the Catholic church isn’t the enemy - we are going to need all the prolife Catholics. All of them.
