yes, the war does seem to be a big issue with catholics (mostly against)but i still think a strong pro lifer could sway them again.
of course some, unfortunatly are hopelessly lost and would vote dem, regardless.
Our parish nun, actually encouraged folks for the 06 election to vote anti war only stating that "bushes war" was far worse than abortion. i cant wrap my brain around that kind of logic.
oddly many of them seem to like rudy, go figure because he seems strong on defense. so if duncan is also, but is pro life, he could possibly swing some votes there:)
My Catholic sister would have loved the "permission" of a parish nun to vote against the war :) Instead she, in a heavily Democrat, Catholic area, was persuaded by her church to vote for Bush, or my guy as she told me then. I guess there is no telling how it will come out in 2008.
