Santorum-Casey polls
So, I was looking at the exit polls in PA for the wonderful Senate race between Santorum and Casey. The polls have Casey in the lead. I looked further to see which classes of people voted more for Santorum. Here they are:
Republican:------------------------86%
Conservative:----------------------80%
Protestants:-----------------------50%
Born-again/Evangelical:------------61%
White Protestants:-----------------55%
White Born./Evan.:-----------------72%
Attended Church More than Weekly:--66%
State Economy Excellent:-----------60%
Voted for Bush---------------------84%
Abortion should be Mostly Illegal:-59%
Abortion should be Always Illegal:-73%
Approve of Bush Handling Job:------86%
Iraq War Somewhat Important:-------51%
Iraq War Not at All Important:-----51%
Terrorism Extremely Important:-----51%
Illegal Imm. Extremely Important:--55%
Values Issues Ext. Important:------52%
Strongly Approve of War in Iraq:---90%
Strongly Approve of War in Iraq:---77%
Send More Troops to Iraq:----------78%
Keep Same Troops to Iraq:----------76%
Voted Today to Support Bush:-------96% Voted Today to Oppose Bush:-------3% hmmmm
Bush Not a Factor in Vote:---------56%
Vote Mainly for your Candidate:----51%
Rural:-----------------------------56%
Central/North Tier:----------------53%
A few things worthy of note. Catholics beat Protestants! Boo yaaaaaa!!!!! Polls may show that they voted only 50/50, but Catholics voted 42/57. How's that for themm hellbound Catholics? As far as religions go, the Jews and No Affiliation seem to be the best at 19/81. Born-agains/Evangelical Christians are the worst at 61/39.
Also, the more church going you are, the more likely you are to make the wrong choice. Thus, I conclude that the church uses subliminal messages to make you do the wrong thing. That way, at least if you're Catholic, you have more sins to confess and the priests stay in business. Just a thought.
Let's see...it seems Santorum is supported more by those who don't think the war in Iraq is all that important than those who do. Yet, strong supporters of the war favour Santorum.
Finally, 3% of those who voted to OPPOSE Bush voted for Santorum. Now, are these people just trying to mess with the polls or do they somehow believe that voting for Santorum is voting against Bush. Santorum voted with Bush 98% of the time I believe...at least if all those Casey ads are true. If the Santorum ads are true, Casey gets money from evil evil men and Santorum likes to wrestle and work with Hillary Clinton. :-)

That 3% who are opposing Bush by voting for Santorum must be the margin of error.

Well, Santorum is Catholic. Not like anyone at my church knows that.

I think most priests in the Catholic Church supported Santorum too from what I gather, so that sucks too. I guess you can choose to blame Catholicism for Santorum. Regardless, you Protestants support him more than us Catholics.

I don't think I'll blame Catholicism for Santorum, just because he's not like a lot of Catholics I know. Fundamentally in our political climate any Christian can end up ultra-right. It's a problem with the Republicans being overrun by ultra-right Christians, not Evangelicals or Catholicism. Evangelicals are more largely represented than Catholics, but the religion itself matters more than which side of the schism.
I do blame Catholics for a lot, though. Like some of the greatest music ever written and a strong intellectual tradition.
