**The late Cardinal Bernandin of Chicago said Catholics should not be single issue voters.**

Not true. Catholics can be single issue voters. (But everything else stinks about Obama, too.

Here are the reasons that Catholics will not vote for Obama.

Now...if Hillary pulls out the nomination

Mom, I'm happy to inform you whoever led you to believe such a ridiculous scenario is possible is full of horse manure. HRC does not in fact have demonic powers.

I see McCain bring Macomb into the GOP column for the first time since 88

Bush won Macomb in 04 actually.

I hope you guys are right with the optimistic assessment. I vacillate between believing Bosama is certain to win and that he is certain to lose.

You’re right, President Bush carried Macomb with 50.24% in 2004; also, the first President Bush carried the county with 42.32% in 1992 (Perot got 19.46%). I’m hoping for John McCain to approach G.H.W. Bush’s 60.33% in Macomb from 1988 (although he certainly won’t come close to President Reagan’s 66.20% in 1984).

On a related note, President Bush carried Monroe County (south of Detroit’s Wayne County) with 50.54%, the first time a Republican had done so since 1988. I think that Monroe’s blue-collar, socially conservative whites will move even more strongly towards McCain (or, more to the point, away from Obama) and perhaps may even give the GOP presidential candidate his first 60% score in the county since Warren G. Harding in 1920 (!).
