[NKP_Vet's response to Ansel12 in post #45: BS!]
Well, NKP_Vet, Ansel12 IS right...although a corner may have finally been turned in this year's election:
Per Bill Donohue of the Catholic League:
* 2008: Catholics voted for Obama vs. McCain 54-45%
* 2012: Catholics voted for Obama vs. Romney 50-48% -- although here this REALLY isn't a fair comparison AT ALL given that Romney was/is also pro-abortion...so I'd frankly throw out the 2012 election results for POTUS as partially meaningless on abortion...STILL, 50% of Catholics voting for Obama in 2012...and 52% averaged over both elections is VERY problematic from EVERY angle...abortion, too!
* 2014: Catholics voted for Republican candidates over Democratic candidates 54-45% (60% of White Catholics voted for Republicans)
Now, mind you...not ALL of those Republicans running in '14 that received those Catholic votes were "pro-life"...but the far majority of them were.

Mid Term elections are always low turn out, when conservatives have much more influence, as the general population tends to not pay much attention without all the hoopla of a presidential race.
