McCain/Palin got 88% of the evangelical Christian vote according to exit polls and the turnout among the group was very large, thanks in large part to the wink & a nod from James Dobson despite Dobson's public misgivings about McCain. He was excited about Palin and had her on his radio program.
It's incomprehensible to me that Palin at the top of the ticket would do worse among this group than with her in the VP slot. Makes no sense at all.
Conservative turnout was pitiful, and Evangelical turnout abysmal. He got 88% of what turned out. You are wholly incorrect if you think the Pro-Life movement is gonna back up for anyone. Since it IS the Christian Right, if you care to push that issue to the side, you will be sorely disappointed.
