That doesn’t explain why my heavily Baptist precinct went Obama. We are only 18K Catholics here.

Just about everyone here is Baptist.

I don't want you to divulge any personal info, but check out the state-by-state interactive map in this thread. An earlier thread reported demographics which showed self-identified-but-nominal Catholics clustering in regions that vote Democrat. I have no trouble believing that there might be clusters of nominal Protestants who vote Democrat as well, and the state map should show it (when the county-by-county maps come out, they should be even more illustrative).

What it does show fairly clearly is that there are not enough traditional conservatives to win a national election. Facts are a stubborn things. It also shows that the GOP will have to reform as a “center right” party as voiced my Newt, concentrating on fiscal conservatism and good governance to compete on the national level. Very conservative issues well well on the local level (States Rights) but do not transfer at all well to national elections.
