In the end, I think it was mostly Evangelicals staying home, and maybe the bishops not getting the word out soon enough about abortion being the deal breaker.
McCain really made himself unpopular with the Evangelicals in 2000, and he screwed up again this time, too. He really just doesn’t seem to get it. I was hoping Sarah Palin would be enough to bring them out, but evidently it wasn’t quite enough to counterbalance their distaste for McCain.
Yeah - our diocesian weekly mag with “Vote Pro-life” on the cover arrived just in time at our house - Wed morning. The only time I heard/saw anything of the kind from our diocese during the entire campaign - pathetic.
