there was a suggestion on Ohio’s major radio station, wlw700, this morning that conservatives stayed home.
Interesting.
From all the numbers I can gather:
Catholics flipped to Obama.
Conservatives stayed home. (Several groups: gave up, some fiscal soured by bail out, some just could not get excited for McCain even with the alternative - people {the normal ones} did not see Obama as bad as he is.)
Evangelicals showed in good numbers if you discount
Catholics - actually up some in spite of Catholic defections
Small increase in number of youth voters - no more than 1-2%
You also need to look at were they not counted. Looks a lot better than seeing 110% in black precincts.
Right. Conservatives turned out for Sarah Palin; RINO's were the ones that stayed home or voted for Obama.
