I read a breakdown of the Catholic vote according to race and ethnicity. 56% of white Catholics voted Republican,80% of Hispanic Catholics voted Democrat and 93% of black Catholics voted Democrat. Thought it was interesting and made a little more sense about what happened,it seems that quite a bit of the shameful showing was a function of race and ethnicity.
When you factor that in with the large number of Creaster catholics it makes the vote count understandable although very disappointing.
