White Roman Catholics voted 52 percent for McCain.
White Mainline Protestants voted 55 percent for McCain.
The more observant the Catholic, the more likely they were to vote for McCain.
So, can we get some of the facts here? You’re antagonizing the people that you need to win - the faithful Catholics.
1972 was only the second time that republicans won the Catholic vote in our history, and it was almost all white back in those days and before, white Catholics became a little less liberal in recent years, as you pointed out, against the infanticide commie, they went republican by 52%.
Unfortunately, that isn't the actual Catholic vote, Obama still won the Catholic vote.
Whites have been leaving Catholicism for many years, in fact without immigration to maintain the numbers it would be a lot smaller and it is becoming an Hispanic denomination, in other words, the Catholic vote will return to total normalcy pretty soon.
