It appears that Catholic voters switched in large numbers to elect Obama. Catholics account for an estimated 27% of the electorate.

In 2004, they split 52% for Bush and 47% for Kerry. This year they reversed it and voted 54% for Obama and 45% for McCain. I believe that McCain would be president if Catholics had supported him as they did Bush.

The switch was not the result of Biden on the ticket as he is pro choice. Biden, being pro chioce , presents a dilema for the US Bishops which will be interesting to follow.


As to Blacks, it is interesting that the Black vote is a big reason why Prop 8 in California was defeated. Blacks oppose gay marrige. I am not here to argue the gay marriage issue, but it is interesting how Blacks scream discrimination at the drop of a pin but will discriminate against another minority---gays.
