Exactly what I said up the thread; all across the boards between 5 and 9 percent per demographic.
About 80 percent of white evangelicals went for the president, delivering him about 20.6 million votes, or about 1.3 million more than in 2000.
If that number is right, and since Bush is honing in on 62,000,000 votes, that's less than a third; hardly a "mandate" from which Evangelicals can demand anything.
Evangelicals are the make or break for the GOP. To ignore them on a question that most Americans (let alone GOP) would more or less agree upon, would be absurd
Take 15 million votes away from the Pubbies and see who wins elections.
One third of the voters is quite a substantial amount. (It's probably more than 20.6 million, although the proportion might not change, since this source is still quoting the Nov 3 numbers.) Now, add the Catholics to the evangelicals to the non-denominationals, the Jews, the Amish and Menonites, and lets throw in the agnosticandgodlessheathens and PLAGAL.
And, don't forget that the President has repeatedly stated that he is for the culture of life.
If the prolife voters of the Republican Party have no mandate, then who does?
