Very interesting. I wouldn't have guessed Kerry did that well among Protestants.

If you take out all the Protestants In Name Only and members of the liberal denominations, Kerry probably did very poorly.

I think you'll find a certain bit of information in this article useful.

Well sure, but it you take out all the CINOs and members of liberal Catholic Churches, the democrats have done very poorly in Catholic circles for years. Faithful Catholics have been voting Republican for several elections now. (Of course, that never stops some Protestants on this forum from squawking about how Catholics supposedly all support Democrats, etc.)

The fact of the matter is both Catholics and Protestants have PINOs and CINOs. The interesting thing here is that, for the first time to my knowledge, Catholics as a group were more Republican than Protestants. I don’t think that’s ever happened before. It has very interesting implications for future elections. Electoral strategies will be shifting a bit to deal with this.

I think it also says something about how the Churches are changing internally right now, but that is better measured elsewhere.
