Thanks for the detailed breakdown.
That is encouraging, but not what I experienced here in Pittsburgh. Most of my Catholic neighbors vote reliably Dem. Likely because the Church here had very deep and incestuous roots in the Labor Movement. Ask any Catholic here and most likely they’ll tell you those Democrats “are for Da Workin’ Man!” Despite the fact that they’ve never met an abortion they would not fund.
Now of course there is wailing and gnashing of teeth over the treatment of the Little Sisters. By the very people they elected.
I think there is a huge remove between local politics and national, with Catholics being even more willing to vote for the death party locally.
Romney actually won the Catholic vote in PA by 1%. White Catholics went 56% for Romney. But Obama won PA by 52%.
Pittsburgh and Philly pull the whole state left. I have family outside of Altoona, they are all broken glass Catholic conservatives.
