Being pro abortion and twice divorced does not a Catholic make.
You think that many Catholics will vote against him? I don't. And I think the evangelicals have gone squishy or even liberal on us in '06.

And I think the evangelicals have gone squishy or even liberal on us... You're right. I watch the polls pretty closely, and I've seen a couple where evangelicals are now pretty evenly divided between GOP and Dem. What's worse, most evangelicals are now against an aggressive GWOT in these polls (against the surge, etc). So it's not so simple as, "Oh, we just talk gay marriage and we'll win Ohio!" Because the evangelicals have bolted for other reasons. The Rick Warren/Obama connection is a perfect example. Many evangelicals were never conservatives to begin with, except on a few social issues. We can't go all anti-war to get them back. This is the central issue of our time here. We have to unite the folks who are pro-war behind the GOP. And many of those folks are probably South Park types: leave me to my online gambling and my gun and my bedroom, but if any country in the Middle East threatens us, two words should apply: Parking. Lot.

You think that many Catholics will vote against him?Vote against him? No. But they won't rally around him as a brother Catholic either.
