In my personal opinion, most Catholics vote like Jews. They get pilloried by Democrats, but they keep right on voting en mass for them.
The difference is that there are huge splits in the Catholic vote, for example La voted 70% for Mclame in ‘08, while NM voted 70% for Obama in ‘08. All we hear of is a national number, which is pretty useless considering splits like that by state, in my opinion.
I would love too see a complete breakdown of the 2012 Catholic vote by state but I guess it is secret information or something and must be hidden. I did see one article that said Ohio Catholics voted for Romney by 9 points.

Now we must support Obama! What ever he wants! Lets change the law so he can have a 3rd and 4th term! Congress should be rendered powerless (it already is ) Lets change the flay to include his face! lets change the name of the nation to the United States of Obama! lets elect his wife to supreame court! Lets set up his health care! Everyone needs to quit their jobs and go on welfare!
According to the statistical table most White Catholics vote like White Protestants. White Evangelicals balance out Black Protestants to bring up the percentage of Republican votes by Protestants. White Catholics don't vote as overwhelmingly Republican, so they don't offset Hispanic Catholics votes for the Democrats in the same way. But what I take away from the chart is that Protestant and Catholic voting isn't so different when race or color (or whatever you want to call it) isn't a factor.
