I watched a C-SPAN Catholic University group of "undecided" students discussing the debates. The last debate convinced 5 people to go toward Bush and 1 to go to Kerry. Being that the Catholic vote is split right now (why..I don't know) that means that more undecideds are moving toward the Bush column. 5 - 1 is a LOT.
I hope the Catholic vote can be turned around. My altar boy sons and husband were as offended by Kerry's altar boy reference as others were by Mary Cheney. Got a great mailer from "Catholic Answers" today explaining why a vote for abortion, euthenasia, cloning, gay marriage, etc. was wrong. The catholic vote is divided because of years of liberals telling us every Sunday that involvement in social justice concerns determines your holiness. It's sorta amusing to watch. For example, last week the Washington Compost carried an op-ed in it's Sunday edition written by a presbyterian who interviewed a Catholic Priest on voting and whether or not the issues/candidates were appropriate homily/sermon fare. The priest they interviewed "Jerry Creedon" is notoriously the most far left wacko in the fairly conservative Arlington diocese.
