The 45.9% of New Jersey that identifies as "White Catholic" includes many CINOs who support abortion rights and will vote for Kerry.
might help if he didn't pander and parade around in baptist churches with frauds like al sharpton. It's a mystery why dems. think having photo ops with sharpton will score votes with blacks. Kerry must have a dim view of the intelligence of black voters.
interesting, thanks for posting.
Has Kerry ever "stumped for votes" in a Catholic Church?
I think that Kerry will be making a huge mistake if he makes a speech about his Catholicism. His little announcement during the debate on Friday that he was a Catholic but still believed in abortion made me livid and I wasn't the only Catholic who felt that way. Kerry has made a mockery of the Catholic faith and made all of us look like hypocrites. He should keep his big foot out of his even bigger Botoxed mouth.
Kerry isn't Catholic. Catholic is the adherence to the teachings of the Church. Kerry only pays it lip service.
"I can see his stance of superiority all the way across the Pacific! "
An aussie freeper. I always thought Australia's history mirrored the U.S. more than any other country. Both young countries colonized by surly foreigners. Must get down there some day.
"I suspect that the shift of socially conservative Jews to Bush and Republicans had already occurred "
My sense is that there are more jewish voters than you would expect that will vote for bush. Traditional dem voters are quietly switching due to the administration's stance on israel. When ed koch endorses bush you know that something is strange is going on.
The polls don't show much movement in the jewish vote. I can see lots of reasons it should have moved, and I hope it would have, but no evidence yet.
In in nyc here, where there is a large jewish population, so my only evidence is purely anecdotal. I am surprised by the number of hardcore democrats speaking well about the curent administration. You'd never know it from tuning into the media though. It's sort of an under the table conversion.
No Catholic should be voting for Kerry.
Kerry is a CINO -- Catholic in Name Only.
Any Catholic who votes for him is uninformed!
I agree the CINO's will not hurt Kerry's chances in New Jersey, but it could definitely hurt him in the Upper Midwest, especially in Wisconsin where his "Lambert" Field remark did not help him either. Outside of the shrinking city of Milwaukee and the SF of the Midwest in Madison, the rest of the state and Milwaukee suburbs are Bush country.

Analyst cites abortion stance as some Catholic voters shift to Bush
There is no surprise here ... Kerry is a CINO. The real surprise is that there are still catholics who do support him.

I think this is against Church law.
