The question is — why did 20% of white evangelicals vote for Obama?

The question is -- why did 40% of white Catholics vote for Obama?

Shh! That is what is being avoided. As for the attempt to charge evangelicals with poor turnout, polling data from The Faith and Freedom Coalition, an organization in Duluth, Ga., dedicated to educating and mobilizing people of faith to be effective citizens, revealed that the evangelical vote increased to 27 percent this year, with 78 percent of them voting for Romney and 21 percent for Obama. http://www.citizenlink.com/2012/11/08/surveys-evangelical-electorate-vote-increases/

20% of white evangelicals with no historical baggage of voting Dem. 40% of white Catholics with the historical baggage

Both are idiots and voting against their Christian beliefs.

Blaming just the 14 million Catholics who voted 0 instead of including them with the 9 million Evangelicals and 21 million Protestants/Other Christians who voted for 0 is silly -- all of these are equally culpable

as Tired pointed out, whichever group you go to -- whether Catholic or the denominations, the church-goers by and large voted against 0.

Seems like a wider morass rather than just religious view
