Rove strictly referenced white evangelical Christians in that comment, and he never backed it up with poll figures or demographics, as far as we know.

Based on ABC News exit polling data from 1996 and 2000.

Also, it's disingenuous - and nonsensical - to infer that some of those people voted for Gore.

18% did, according to the same poll.

"Based on ABC News exit polling data..."

OK... you sourced it. Can't say I like or respect or trust the source, but you sourced it.

BTW, it's not that I don't trust you, but do you have a link to the original poll data? What was the sample size? MOE? Was this "data" aired during voting hours in an attempt to affect the outcome of the election - as the networks have been wont to do? I probably wouldn't be asking these questions if the data came from the Family Research Council or the American Enterprise Institute... or even the National Review.... but we're talking Peter Jennings ann his minions here.
